“haiku pebbles fall
like rain causing ripples
on upside down void”
Wonky, the orator goat
Stomped cloven hoof
Took a thespian bow
Went “Poof” ☁️

so what makes me go
heel to toe heel to toe that
magic makes it so
Kingfisher bragged that
"We're going to be so rich."
He didn't mean you
Equinox balance
Caress the wild within you
Always cedes valence
Wasted too much time
To rehearse conversations
That never happened
Phrazez that Payzez
Teen angst poetry love
Persistence is futile. The Borg 🤖
I remember everything
I may not remember them correctly.
But I remember

the ideal plum
for me is downloaded in
wrinkly prune format
With a great big yawn
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Is it nap time yet?
allegiance to a
floating crap game with loaded
dice and marked cards
will not a patriot make
floating crap game played
with loaded dice while dealing
out marked poker cards
not an easy allegiance
for a patriot to make
Where money is charged
Profiteers keep opaque what
Species go extinct

to avoid dreaded
run-on sentences I use
haiku form instead
Nostalgia nonsense:
"Things were much better back then."
Nope. But lies stayed close
Oh this ain't balmy
It's a blast furnace out there
Believe me, I know
Nostalgic brothers
Balmy and Bomby Weasel
Plan chicken coop run
I watch and wonder at the amount of effort people waste
stacking the irrelevant on the inconsistent
next to the problematic hypothetical outcome
without knowing how much the
newborn irrelevant in the room weighs.
Just trying to chill
Up in the Empyrean
While y'all crying down there

gentle gestures grace
kind moments and tender words
engrave my intent
stamping out any
scintilla of decency
in The Faker's rule
jack boots stomp down joy
a once profuse people view
desolate demo
Entangled pleasure
Regret. Not a #scintilla
Engraved memories
Profuse scintilla
Oxymoron for the spark
Of kindness in law
Bottled spring water.
It's a short leap to selling
us bottled spring air.
It was a mismatch that could only be made in heaven
All she wanted was more
All I wanted was less
Adventures in urban hiking
Another close encounter with a 5G urban traveler
This was just a pass by not a collision course.
Close enough that whistling a few bars of my mantra
🎶 I cannot see
🎶 Look out for me
Made them look up from their phone momentarily
Watch where they were going.
Is this a daily occurrence or just random synchronicity
for the last few days?
Don't touch that dial
On the plus side; I spend a lot less time reading the news.
Any article that starts, "Trump says..." I can skip over
Cause I know what follows that pre mumble will be twaddle.

The abyss between
Objective reality
And their perception
Devours all the safe space
Leaves all the evil behind
a very clear sign
that the barn door is open
cold draft on cherries 🍒
Nibble and a sip.
On your person. In your bag.
I could count on yum.
You can't judge a fish by its packaging.I bought some wild caught cod at the Jewels. Got it home and when I took it out of the shopping bag I noticed an off smell. Put it in the fridge and it made the fridge smell funky. Went back and forth whether to pitch it or not. Put it into a paper bag and took a walk. Decided that when I took it out of it's packaging I would give it one more sniff test. Out of it's sealed package it no longer stunk. So I gave it the instant pot pressure steam and it was delicious. I am writing this to remind myself if I get sick or keel over I was wrong. 06/28/2024
I like to turn off the window AC unit early mornings so I can give my tinnitus whispering the full attention it has earned. 🔔👂🔔
Phrazez that Payzez
Oh blinding light
Oh light that blinds
I cannot see
Look out for me - Fire Sign Theatre
I whistled that tune right before a young gentleman walking while staring at his phone nearly bashed into me. Got his attention and disaster was averted 😁

You were my first draft
Left glorious and unscathed
That was our #moment
Then the real world rushed in
Forcing revisions on us
Before it's too late
Send for ale and fresh horses
Siege necessities
plastic surgery
botox filler fakery
like peas in a pod
You became my poetry
Fortuitously or ill-fated
Left glorious and unscathed
You were only my first draft
The time it takes to
Send the moment to my brain
Seems to take longer
nothing more useless
than unasked for advice, won't
listen or follow
Profound formula
X-rays times Y-rays equal
Ludicrous thought rays

Empathy fuel low
My burn rate of G A F
Might just be maxed out
Then I read the daily spews
Outrage needle pegged again
vagary garden
whatever I can forage
from trellis and ground
tossed in a pot set to stew
only I can burn the soup
Pandora's Box was
hidden in a safe under
the base of the place
called Utopia; but still
it was found by the humans
Idolater words
Clever translation trellis
Swimming in a stew
A mass vagary mélange
Unclean aspic mysteries
Phrazez that Payzez
The free rider populates both ends of a societal spectrum
It's the ones in the middle that do all the work
Bingo Cluck
In the shabby hotel meeting room the marathon Chicken Poo Bingo Game ground into the next morning. A classic orange cult, head in the sand pastime. The prize being a bucket of Kentucky Fried. Leggs Eleven, the frantic mob boss, grabbed the Bingo number squatter by the ears shouting, “Said needed Two Fat Ladies!” he spat “Not Two Little Ducks!”
