7 Haikus Written in the Back Seat on the Way to a Meeting
Company car ride
We make small talk to pass time
Politics are out Five syllables then
Seven syllables and then
Five syllables more The Berlin Turnpike
Was killed by the interstate
All empty motels There are two choices
Cooling breeze or messed up hair
My hair is cut short Hartford tries so hard
It's not New York or Boston
It never will be We are in a rush
For the 2 o'clock meeting
I say, let's be late Only I know that
We just passed my friend's exit
They don't need to know
We make small talk to pass time
Politics are out Five syllables then
Seven syllables and then
Five syllables more The Berlin Turnpike
Was killed by the interstate
All empty motels There are two choices
Cooling breeze or messed up hair
My hair is cut short Hartford tries so hard
It's not New York or Boston
It never will be We are in a rush
For the 2 o'clock meeting
I say, let's be late Only I know that
We just passed my friend's exit
They don't need to know

We need more haikus about the Berlin Turnpike in this world, for sure.
Brilliant poems though :] All of them...
