a once proud anthem
about saying no to despots
dons ironies cloak

a once proud anthem
about saying no to despots
dons ironies cloak

vagary garden
whatever I can forage
from trellis and ground
tossed in a pot set to stew
only I can burn the soup

exposition makes
my eyes glaze over that's why
I do the haiku

Myth creates the caste
Idolatry glorifies
Selfish behavior
Over good for the many
With fictions in media

Memory's embrace
Woe to the misbegotten
Moments to forget

Up the down staircase
Goblins of prosperity
Into secret muck

We've come too far now
We don't need no stinkin' king
We ain't going back

will spending my life
on the mend send a different
end around the bend

barely sentient
pugnacious pugilist pawns
poking the people
only following orders
no matter how illegal

a very long night
an early morning rally
meant smiles for breakfast

price of admission cost to survive belies the myth of innocence

A once great nation
Washed up on a beach to rot
A tear shedding stench

haiku pebbles fall
like rain on the upside down
online lake of void

Once a customer
Now a free range forager
Thrift shop investor

roving gangs of geese
murder chickens by the ditch
crime wave gone a fowl

I'm a finite sandwich
an infinity below me
an infinity above of me
enjoying the condiments
of existence

a sudden bout of
boisterous behavior ends
a long-term friendship

I committed too
soon to commitment in a
noncommittal way

Every scion has
A backstory, yet they'll still
Spin their tale thus;
And whistle past the graveyard
Of those that gave them so much

reality lite
through a prism in my cell
wall of science site

See who will blink first
Boon for big dry eye pharma
Call your broker now

Neuro foliage
Mix and match reality
Select your own truth

opaque to many
to just as many it's clear
the rest pay no mind

a flurry of wings
flapping with blood soaked fury
bringing home the wreaths

conversation needs
not to have conversion as
a goal to achieve
if all of us could agree
nothing wrong with a nice chat

Idolater words
Clever translation trellis
Swimming in a stew
A mass vagary mélange
Unclean aspic mysteries

I love my wind chimes
I hate my neighbors wind chimes
My stuff and your crap
