Credit where credit is due

Since I'm in a slightly better mood today, I should credit my college boyfriend for yesterday's title, which came from his haiku. Ten years later, this is still one of my favorite poems ever. I didn't even know I'd committed it to memory, but here it is--more or less:

Bitter coffee grounds
for leaving me, you say.
Angst, horrible angst.

And while I'm at it, another favorite poem by my friend Debbie's brother, written when he was in high school:

Look!
A bird
Drinking...
Water.

We are literary GIANTS, I tell you!
