Haiku for Microbus Drivers

I am going to go out on a limb and presume that the haiku has essentially no currency here in Egypt. Nevertheless, I rationalize the lack of posts over the last month by providing this little poem to the microbus drivers of Cairo. Please note that a midan (pronounced "mee-dahn") is a square, or a large intersection. Not all haikus are 7-5-7, I admit most are 5-7-5. (I was recently told I had an "inverted" haiku.)



Pressing now into the fray
your crumpled cash hand
sorts traffic at the midan




Happy 2007 to all on the Roman calendar!
