Wounded, cowering
But not slain, the defeated
Shall rise again soon.
Blast from the past:
The temple of man,
The beginning of knowledge:
A distant mirror.
The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.

Wounded, cowering
But not slain, the defeated
Shall rise again soon.
Blast from the past:
The temple of man,
The beginning of knowledge:
A distant mirror.

I closed my suitcase,
Finally twisting it shut.
Now my arm twists
Blast from my past:
But if I am so
Different from these poets,
How can they move me?

Who I am is not
Who I am now, and now I
Suffer the whiplash
Blast from the past:
After growing big,
The giant bunny still feared
Itty-bitty snakes.

There in the rubble
Of what I do not yet know,
I decide to sit.
Blast from the past:
Never look backwards.
The person you had just been
Faded into dark.

Son of the desert
Against civilization
Discover nature
Blast from the past:
Got to tell the truth.
Unless you’re living a lie,
Then just say nothing.

I continue to
Walk into myself through the
Coming yesterday
Blast from the Past:
Anger is acid
Eating you from the inside
‘Til you let it out.

I walk toward
My self, with stars behind the
Coming tomorrow.
Blast from the past:
This one is a program written in the programming language Python
import random.randrange as spin_the_wheel
potential_days = [‘slug day’, ‘chug day’, ‘hug day’, ‘shrug day’, ‘snug day’]
def which_day_will_it_be(potential_days):
return spin_the_wheel(potential_days)today = which_day_will_it_be(potential_days)

Greed is an illness
Anyone can drink from its
Degeneracy
Blast from the past:
The more I travel
The more I long for place
Ebbing waves return home

I’ve missed this city
Always a next place to see,
Endless traveling
(Written after going home after a trip.)
Blast from the past:
This carefree world,
This world of idleness,
It belongs to us.

Rugged pointillism
Imprinted onto my feet.
I must sweep my floor
A blast from the past:
Day of presentations,
Interviews, followed by
Total exhaustion
