Has spent decades earning my mistrust
Everyday earns more

Insurance medical complex
Has spent decades earning my mistrust
Everyday earns more

a bag of hammers
with a dumb damaging clunk
drops on the world stage

Up before sunrise
Much to complete before I
Slip into darkness

gusty fresh breeze blows
through desolate personal
cosplay cul-de-sac

See the long low tide
Reveal our murky depths
Needs scrutiny now

affection takes rust
off an old heart replacing
it with verdant growth

romance or hook-up
each has a unique impact
on workplace culture

things that I pursue
often start pursuing me
eventually

It's in the dosage
All things can become toxic
Even detoxing

last snow drifted down
from late night ether frolic
infinity rose

Everything's withered
For no additional gain
Long cold nights ahead

taking a short walk
into a long days vortex
to meet my long night

eleventh hour
on the eleventh day of
the eleventh month

a tangle of words
treble stanza then braid them
haiku a day wrap

Always a future
That sprouts from what we do now
Act with that in mind

presenting my new
improved Spud Deluxe spring sky
potato launcher

the duality
of the event will arrive
eventually

out on the corner
I juggle the Jujubes
foretell sweet fortunes

Have care packages
A positive attitude
Hunting for goodwill

The Grumpy Grandpas
In their dotage shuffle charts
Like they're tarot cards
Never mind the auguries
Reading them the way they choose

Time for us to talk
Rarely signals glad tidings
Harbinger of blame

I should know better
No need for me to chime in
Bell tolls for us all

Deal with desire
I catch it. I release it.
The spice of my life

when the Banshee shrieks
best not to shirk her prescribed
feeding rituals

Penetration tool
A drill can build or destroy
Favorite weapon as
slasher film backup or for
environmental rapists

I sat down to read
Then I forgot to get up
Kept turning the page

Reductionist sweep
Objects are objectionable
Disturb resting dust
