Everyone who claims

to have had sex in the sky

is telling a lie.

This haiku had been sitting in my draft file for four years — ever since the days when you could actually earn good money for publishing a Medium haiku, even a snarky one.

Snarky haiku are the only kind I write.

I’d been weeding my draft folder and getting rid of the stuff I knew I was never gonna publish.

Clearly, it was time to either publish this one or delete it, so I decided to hit publish — if only to see whether Medium puts it in Barry Foster’s feed.
