HAIKU #200

The past can't hurt you
Unless you take it with you
Into the future

HAIKU #199

If we're spoken of
We should hope to be described
As gentle and strong

HAIKU #198

Kings put on bright robes
We find love and mate for life
Spaceships fill the sky

#PROVIDENCE

HAIKU #197

Women all want sex
But I just wanna stay home
And play with Duplos

#LonelyAtTheTop

APEX

We saw light
At an extraordinary time

We saw light
When we could cultivate the future

We're the ones
At the apex of mankind

We're the ones
Exchanging memory for choice

We saw light
When we could've only seen ourselves

We chose right
When we could've engineered a monster

We're the sons
And the daughters at the apex

We're the ones
Ensuring wisdom has a voice

HAIKU #196

O! sweet irony
Losers hath rejected us
Forcing us to win

HAIKU #195

Always we crave more
Dazzled by sheer quantity
What we lack is depth

ON MY WAY HOME

I was headed nowhere
No life in my eyes
Tied up all my loose ends
Said all my goodbyes

Buried my possessions
Gave away my clothes
Left a map of riddles
For nobody-knows

Cancelled my subscriptions
Chartered a new flight
Reread all the scriptures
And ran out of light

Now I lie in darkness
Naked and alone
Asking for forgiveness
I'm on my way home

HAIKU #194

Most people are weird
Those who are truly normal
Are the real misfits
