the quest to conserve
a socially stratified
society no
matter the human cost
is restarting in earnest

bite your media
chew before swallowing cause
your brain has no teeth

Interim construct
Timed thaw and ripen cycle
Live task wheel process

seems all the stories
I tell myself about me
are anecdotal

Only takes a peek
No vigil necessary
To see the abyss
Looming up before us all
Executive malfeasance

some barely conscious
of IRL surroundings
subsumed all day while
partaking of violent games
ingesting haughty delights

Many a disease
I've given myself watching
YouTube videos

the Same Subterfuge
just a Different Century
and the band played on

lacking rationale
cattywampus ciphering
mystical conjure
things that were true now denied
lies take corporeal form

the day completed
even before it started
with penning of poem

A haiku a day
A morning word play foray
Had my yearly say

Circus is ending
Time to deliver the bread
Send the clowns away

going from drastic
plastic to tragic tantric
tantrum terror plots
by bilious faux billionaires
serving sorrow by the sack

those that are tasked to
shuffle society's deck
palm a card or two

Observe from afar
Stupefied into silence
The daily discourse

Christmas mourning time
Joy for all the girls and boys
Debt for you and me

I spent so much time
goal setting then forgot the
most important part

definite maybe
perhaps the closest we'll get
to truthful answers

Fireball in the east
Heliacal attraction
Guides another day

when we all try to
dance to a different tune
it's best to spread out

infinite number
of ways to arrive at the
inevitable

Histories challenge
Exploring the rot within
That hid for decades

Occasionally struck
By a stray ray of kismet
Causality queue
Affect a casual stance
While waiting for the effect

laugh out loud as I
whet my rapier wit on
reality's edge
