Linear timelines
A spirit of fierce aspect
Lurks in the middle
Of a made up beginning
To imaginary end

Linear timelines
A spirit of fierce aspect
Lurks in the middle

is there enough bleach
to remove this stain from our
collective psyche

My bad attitude
Led me to ineptitude
Grasping rectitude

A gamble ramble
Live liars poker timeline
Wanna bet your life?

I buy my T.P.
one roll at a time because
there's no guarantee
a Big Mega Value Pak
wouldn't last longer than I do

stars moons and planets
big ball of fire in the sky
will do what they do
but the real fun is here
with our perception of vast

Is there such a thing
As good grief Charlie exclaims
Cathartic perhaps
Therapeutic grief even
But no way good grief I say

cameras everywhere
have sucked the vitality
out of everything

Stashed in winter grass
The Easter Potato hunt
Spud resurrection

While winging about
The plover in Dover lives
Mainly on clover

Object of desire
Manifest mountainous dream
Lofty ablutions

flatten the bell curve
with maximum consumption
of noisy twaddle
dispatched notes from the office
sack full of angry weasels

Birth bumps on a branch
Broadcast the expectant spring
Future berries bud

Tanka to do list
First stack things on other things
Second reproduce
Third consume only good stuff
Fourth eliminate bad stuff

Gone beyond the cusp
Plunged deep into disaster
Year one and counting

so no, not a war
it's a full metal pageant
claims Comrade Bone Spurs

No Kings with their bling
That swap serfs for others turf
Not things to conserve

does a snarky phrase
made via email or post
make it an equip?

better to play tag
with a languid bear than a
frisky clueless one

flowing smouldering
creek of burnt history as
internalized space

So churn baby churn
A slippery wink and a nod
To go with the flow
Buy with a tip on the dip
Sell in a blink from truth link

current tech mana
data as revelation
pull back the curtain

Self medication
Reading was my gateway drug
Now I just listen

Haiku retrospect
In nonlinear format
Anxiety's chain

equanimity
like global equinox needs
magnanimous spread

Takes a fair measure
Comparing personal loss
To that of others
Except never seen as fair
While only rarely to scale

Work the undo list
Some undoings bring me joy
Some can't be undone

Took decades to make
Will reverberate longer
A stained tripping point
