Standing on the edge
I remain unable to move
From my stable perch
Blast from the past:
I seek refuge in
A land that begins at
The edge of our world.
The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.

Standing on the edge
I remain unable to move
From my stable perch
Blast from the past:
I seek refuge in
A land that begins at
The edge of our world.

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

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

Mud kicking up
Sliding down and sliding up
Push little by little
Blast from the past:
Comedy faces
Life’s contradictions and says
Something about it

No one cares about
Patching up ruined lives when
They are wandering.
Blast from the past:
Life remains easy
For the person who lives with
No sense of shame

Here I sit
On my way
Forever on my way
“When are you going home?”
I have no home
I have only forward
Somewhere new, somewhere new, somewhere newA new place, new culture
New questions,
New challenges,
New places to see
One after the other
Can I remember the last one
A faint memory
As I venture into the new
Blast from the past:
The forgotten fire
Took almost nothing along
The road not taken

Up up endless stairs
Under the merciless sun
Skin slippery from sweat
Blast from the Past:
On a boat tethered
With the full moon as the
Shadows dive on down

Stuck home in the rain
While my heart roams free, yearning
For an adventure
Blast from the Past:
No one noticed how
The stone would dream
Of the sun.

The True Rulers of the Land:
The birds who always
Can find their home and the seeds
Digging into earth
Blast from the Past:
I must move
Venture to the next place
Never confined by a home

Every dish
Is an adventure.
Will it be sweat, spicy, savory
You never know
Until you bite.
Blast from the Past:
An aphorism:
If you want to really understand someone, watch how they eat a burrito.
