2026 - The Cracked Door

05/24/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

Trains, trains, and more trains
On my endless quest
For the next city

Blast from the past:

Just sail through blind
These will go to those favored
Peak coincidence

One more city
One more place
Where humans construct a home

Blast from the past:

We are all microbes
In the immense petri dish
Of society

Ascend the staircase
To reach a summit that is
Nothing at all

Blast from the past:

The back stairs lead down
To a dingy basement. The
Sign reads “No Exit”

If you feed the cats,
The rats will flee

Blast from the past:

Initiation
Countdown sequence beginning
Is there enough time?

Constant speed bumps
Bump bump bump
For my butt

Blast from the past:

If I make you whole,
And you make me whole,
Then I make myself whole.

Cozy and asleep,
The cat only needs to wake
To catch one mouse

Blast from the past:

Never know when to
Stop. Push yourself far enough
Everything crumbles.

Writing a haiku
On a bus as the world flies
By and by outside

Blast from the past:

Singing loud, dancing,
Embodying the ceaseless
Cry for harmony
