If you'll pardon what seems to be pat response: cool, I liked them, (at least I didn't say, "interesting.") The lines approached lyric and I kept thinking some might be poetic prose considering their length and their prose looking layout, instead of short short short fiction.
A Canadian writer from my town published a book of micro short fiction, (the longest is five pages) that was up for the The Giller Prize (http://www.thegillerprize.ca/), a top canadian literary prize. He is a master of the concise. Worth a look for any short fiction writer.
You probably wouldn't find the book in the states, but you can find it on Amazon.ca: John Gould - Kilter: 55 Fictions (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0888012802/qid=1078165706/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_2_1/702-4456285-1260018) and get an okay exchange rate.
This would be a list of your published works, too? http://www.writers.net/writers/4790 (http://www.writers.net/writers/4790)
Personally, I have trouble getting back into writing, after getting the degree. It was an intense learning experience for me, so much to learn packed into 4 years, so much to think about. And I always had workshops to write for. I start and stop and start and stop.

How do you balance all your elements?
