9/26/24 Haiku for the Day

Just dance all that rain
There is not a shape for you
Your future awaits

Blast from the Past:

Established approach?
My only coherence lies
In improvisation

Driving the fast lane
You’re dancing in lock step with death
Inviting him in

Blast from the Past:

Life is a highway
Under construction, where no
One is letting you merge.

Your cry never ends!
Even the blades of grass will
Remember your sound

Blast from the Past:

Every piled up
Tomorrow will become an
Empty yesterday.

This peak I just climbed
Seemed way out of reach until
The very last step

Blast from the past:

Be the change you want,
Or simply change the nature
Of being itself

I wrote today’s poem in the Python programming language.

for each_new_day in life():

if only():

print(“Always happy”)

Blast from the Past:

The art of “freedom”:
Postindustrial promise
Servicing the self

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.

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 am venturing
Forth into the great unknown.
Wish me good struggles.

Blast from the past:

Everything bores, bores, bores
I’m in meetings. Bored bored bored
For a time and no purpose
Longer than heaven

Never look backwards.
The person you had just met
Faded into dark.

Blast from the Past:

Nothing’s happening.
It’s just another day where
Nothing’s happening.

The lessons of life
Rarely come cheap. Their price is
Etched in my wrinkles.

Blast from the Past:

Examine your life,
All that you have built so far,
Do you feel happy?
