Haiku a Day

hanging by a thread
on their own self spun petard 
but who'll take the fall

Profits privatized 
Losses shared with everyone 
State owned AI grift

desolate landscape
right-wing cul-de-sac filled with
moral turpitude 

Ask for life's cheat codes
A.I. will give you numbers
Artificial bliss

To a lifetime spent
In preparation for a
Final show and tell

libertine geese fly
off into the misty gray
instinct driven haze

National rebrand 
Money power piracy
Is the new modus

Advert the invert
Give us your money to solve
The crisis we made

Pander to the herd 
I don't know what do you think?
Conundrum polling

Raconteur Rancor
spinning bilious narration 
to all who'll listen

Our mortgaged country
Needs refinance appraisal
Cook the books quickly 

Need an oasis
Away from constant drizzle
Of drivel du jour 

another feral
fetid fabulation spun
from festering ooze 

The old chestnut goes
Don't worry and carrion
Vulture throwing shade

If you step on mine
Then I'll have to step on yours
Life in a minefield 

it's been so long since
we said so long and yet still
I so long for you

my consciousness stream
pressure overflow makes for
windy word wind shear

Diplomatic chill
Hands out palms up for the graft
Grazing A.I. boil

My personal take
Believing makes a mistake
Embracing the fake

Fermenting with age
Ripening like a fine cheese
Life's long festering

another day with
another catastrophe
life in the food chain

a social faux pas
an intrusive extrusion 
when not requested

on free-range social
miss subtle clues to assess
distress from success 

Short day victory
Will harbor a waterfall
Of long dark night grief 

CYOA script
Lies, damn lies, and statistics
Recited by rote

In whom you confide
Speaks volumes to discretion
Stealth misdirection

Quantum prism quash
How could a rainbow endure
A colorless world

Wood plank swirls broaden  
Insane ingrain in the grain 
Vibrant time revealed

Having ambition
Be the whale in the puddle
Splash enough for some

phones had a cradle
you could hang up with gusto
slamming home your point

Free to go about
Inflicting his vanity
On events du jour

anxious dread as a
chronic fretting fussbudget
not a worrywart

Fearsome florid nose
Beacon for misadventures
Dissolution badge 

A parallax view 
In a tunnel vision world
Broadens horizons

every night in bed
I toss and turn on top of
a fever dream quilt
