Haiku 167

Green bottle empty
Of anything except air
And the shaded light

Science teacher me thanks you for remembering that the bottle isn't empty.

Spacey dreamy-eyed (or is it just near-sighted?) me was thinking of you and revised his first (unpublished) version for accuracy. Accuracy is always poetic, contrary to popular belief.

Was this the bottle of absinthe? The Shushu me needs to ask . . .

Ah, like the Manet? No, nothing so dramatic. I'm saving some absinthe for your next visit! Maybe by then I'll have looked up that recipe for absinthe ice cream.

It was a green bottle from France though -- an empty bottle of Perrier. I was sitting in what I don't want to call but have to call a food court -- the same place with the neon teriyaki sign that inspired #168.

I thought you were in London already. . .
