December 5, 1989-Urban Haikus

In general, I’ve found most of Dumont's work to be high energy and positive in nature. Definitely surreal at times and a perhaps little “out there”, but there are some passages that suggest a reasonable amount of melancholy, and emotion you can't blame him for considering his personal and financial struggles. I believe the following two Haikus touch on that melancholic feeling nicely.

December 5, 1989

Need shelter
Just above freezing--
Hope has gone into hiding.
I can smell the rain

Pretty Girl
Pretty girl with dog
Walking down Fifth Avenue
Was that smile for me?
