Haiku a Day

A Scroll Threw Life

about

My unreasonable expectations have often led me down the path of irrational exuberance.

  • Greeezy

     

    digital pucker

    with musk bezos and zucker

    potted flesh for them
    greased with their filthy lucre
    canned spam American scam




  • Proof

     

    I guess this is proof
    Bad ideas never end
    They just hibernate






  • Hunches

     

    How is glorified

    confirmation bias sold?
    In bunches of hunch.




  • Slide

     

    recalling the view
    when I started lifetimes slide
    “wheeeee!” been quite a ride




  • Inerrant

     

    where inerrant meets

    aberrant that’s vanity

    shifting abhorrent




  • Fooled Again

     

    The fool swayed on stage

    While the fools lapped it all up 

    “I don’t need you fools” 
    “I’ve fooled enough already” 
    As the fools all fell in line


  • Labyrinth

     


    walls made of our stuff

    stacked in cattywampus rows

    selfmade labyrinth




  • Crust

     

    balanced on the crust
    of economies pie chart
    debt magnet pulls me





  • Intake

    my breathing routine

    creative on the intake

    exhale productive



  • Freeze

    freeze the frieze in time
    captured on a viaduct 
    or just graffiti 



  • Friend

     

    Few that I call friend

    Over time fewer still hear

    Battles fought each year
    Even when they were long lost
    Still grateful to see you near




  • Snow

     

    A fresh layer snow

    What prints shall we leave this time

    History tracks us



  • Sapphire Banter

     

    My last found lover

    Can seduce like no other
    Her special allure
    Turns my awkward blue chatter
    To slutty sapphire banter

  • Draft


    Groomed in the sixties
    For draft in the seventies
    Nation said, “Nevermind.”

  • Glance

     

    from a furtive glance
    to glancing blow use the chance
    to view each askance

  • Moo Moo

     the taste of a steak
    cooked on my old charcoal grill
    flavor moooooves me still

  • Exposed

    Expose film to light
Dark. Chemical bath. More light.
Develop photo
You're the film exposed to light
Be the paper of your life

  • No More Bunnies

    events sadden me
    scratch at my devices gate
    but I refuse to
    throw myself down rabbit holes
    with no more bunnies to give

  • Still Alive

    on the upside it's
    not twenty five twenty five
    so we're still alive

  • It's Begun

    twenty twenty five
    has begun the demise of
    the beguine again


  • Rising to Set

    Endings all around
    Beginnings around us too
    Trick is which is which

  • Visitation Eve

    Three wise guys showed up
    With former partner moaning
    Rattling life chains
    Fugetaboutit was first
    Repast from the distant past

    Then arrived Liveit
    Or Livewithit in a blink
    As an instant wink
    Hovering in the doorway
    Was you know who arriving

    Imminent glory
    Dontworryaboutit now
    Pay for it later
    Wide open to interpret
    Past Present Future
