Everyday more
Don’t stop until you drop
Blast from the Past:
Conversations and
Then conversing followed by
More conversations

Meeting old friends
Seeing who you were clash
Against who you are now
Blast from the Past:
It’s like a ghost
That’s been following us both
Vague and unseen

(Sorry. I haven’t posted my daily haikus in the last couple days. I was busy at a wedding. I wrote the haikus on those days but didn’t have time to post them. They will be up soon.)
Motorbikes, cars, and people
Whiz by, the constant motion
Of Java
Blast from the Past:
The world keeps spinning
While I sit still and ponder
It’s ceaseless motion

Waiting while it loads
Watching my slow computer
Take such a long time
Blast from the Past:
I’m like a glacier:
Slow-moving til you get to
My ice-cracking tip.

Kneeling before their elders
Washing each other’s feet
Standing up to start a new life together
(This one is about a Javanese wedding I attended.)
Blast from the Past:
We must discover
The way we fit together.
Let us join the dance.

Thrown into the water
The net comes back with
Tons of trapped fish
For you to dislodge
Blast from the Past:
The rabbits present
The tiger with many fish
To not become lunch.

The head of a rock
Hellbent on moving “forward”
Towards violence
Blast from the Past:
A generation
Who never knew war heralds
Trauma for the next
