Stand in line
All we need is
Your compliance
Blast from the Past:
I should fall in line?
For a job? That’s never worth
It in the long run.
The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.

Stand in line
All we need is
Your compliance
Blast from the Past:
I should fall in line?
For a job? That’s never worth
It in the long run.

How are we
Supposed to build
Our fortresses of resilience
Upon only
Loneliness, stress, and exhaustion?
Blast from the Past:
I keep circling
The vortex of agony:
Cycle of anger

I sit here bobbing
Angsty yet bored, waiting out
The rest of my life
Blast from the Past:
Prisoner I am
Locked in a cage of freedom
Waiting for a key

The call deafens me
From the unstruck note sounding
Within the abyss
Blast from the Past:
Ascend the abyss
Mayo you be blinded by the
Patient rays of light.

It’s very bitter.
My heart’s bitter through and through.
Eat some. I just did.
Blast from the Past:
What form should I take?
None of these do me justice
Shadows of my truth

Water flooding at my face
Down down down I fall
My rope my only comfort
Blast from the Past:
Who would recognize
The withered leaf turned adrift
Whenever they pass

If our pets knew what
We humans were really like,
Would they choose to stay?
Blast from the Past:
Strapping boys end up
Mensplainers set in their ways.
Disappearing men.
