Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
Gofer
Gopher
Go for broke
Friday night follies
Medieval power drinking
Order up excess
evening rain refresh
cooling cleansing quenching quafe
savour each swallow
Etched in my mind's eye
While together and apart
Your visage above
It's so hot here
it's even melting
my nasal polyps 👃
#ewww 😱
Damn the bloody truth
Full scheme ahead me mateys
Monarchy or bust
Magenta, Violet,
Cyan burst sisters make a
colorful entrance
New ice age takes hold
Skating on fallow meadows
Our only respite
I'm a finite sandwich
an infinity below me
an infinity above of me
enjoying the condiments
of existence
while the past is past
and the present is present
echoes linger long
spare a tear for me
down the rabbit hole I go
insurance vortex
A once great nation
Washed up on a beach to rot
A tear shedding stench
Insurance medical complex
Has spent decades earning my mistrust
Everyday earns more
Leave a thankless job
Transit to a joyless home
Train ride refugee
a promise to train
transforms into a lifetime
of soul crushing debt
slap dash calabash
with a lick and a promise
took the task to hand
very fast and none to clean
slippery split with a twist
it's a better choice
a melon scented candle
than alternative
aromas on the market
of the pheromonal kind
well past midsomer
hope against hope our wanton
wanderings recur
Child's happy place
Cotton candy frolic feast
Full of pinks and blues
Akin to adults
Ether frolics but with sweets
Not so different
Tails from Florida
Of long lived porpoises
And chatty Mynah birds
He was lost
Until he found
His special purpose
Was transporting Mynahs
Across state lines
For immortal porpoises
So he went into politics
7/21/2024
Sand in the gears gumming up the works
all part of a Russian nesting doll scam
to keep us at each other's throats
Russian nesting doll
scams throwing sand in the works to
foist oligarch rule
glad I tuned out of
a week of blowing smoke and
pounding sand up our...
No mistranslations
No cultural biases
Pure #spiritual sea
yesterday's brain squall
caused my haiku to wash up
on the wrong hashtag
snow drift of old news
blows under my cabin door
needs a tighter seal
today is just one
more example of humans
humaning because
we are great big bundles of
our cognitive dissonance
catching fish the goal
fishing's purpose has a more
existential vibe
I thought I was done
Until I became undone
Who on earth does that
Stick a fork in me
Be gentle. Try not to hurt
I bleed out easy
Just flip me again
I can take it cause I'm tough
And getting tougher
Improperly seared
Becoming dry and chewy
Now a good shoe sole
Fear induced fracas
False evidence flows for all
Freezing out freedom
Cruelty continues
'Til we regain our senses
Offset the upset
Semi precious opinions
Colorful layers to see
Hardened shell of glinting rock
Protects vacuous inside
Onus is on the onyx
To repel free range insight
Shields penetrating knowledge
From sneaking into the core
The check I gave her
was blank. The only result?
My overdrawn heart
once a wire
add a switch
born a circuit
became integrated
to be a transistor
shrunk to a chip
begat a microchip
quantum computing
here I come
