On Dec. 1, 2004, my poet friend Sparrow wrote this poem for me in French and English:

Poème végétarien

Je ne mange pas des poulets
parce qu’ils sont trop intelligents.

Je préfère la nourriture stupide.

Vegetarian Poem

I do not eat chickens,
because they are too intelligent.

I prefer stupid food.

I sent him a haiku reply:

asparagus would
be offended but it can’t
recognize insults

Sparrow replied with a haiku of his own and the game was afoot. To read our haiku exchange, please click on “more.”
