Which way should I go?
Oh heart, oh heart, where to go?
Just let the wind blow
Blast from the Past:
Moving on through your
Criteria, uncontained
Like the roving wind
The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.

Which way should I go?
Oh heart, oh heart, where to go?
Just let the wind blow
Blast from the Past:
Moving on through your
Criteria, uncontained
Like the roving wind

Who can I take my complaint to
When my problem is
Existence itself?
Blast from the Past:
What do you do now
That your daily existence
Has lost its meaning?

Shouting, never listening
Everything is opposition
What a pathetic encounter
Blast from the Past:
Sitting and waiting
Just as you stipulated
Forced passivity
I will be in a remote area with limited internet for a few days. I will still write my haikus, but I won’t have the WiFi to post them. I will post the haikus from this time later after I get back.

If you want to really understand someone, watch how they eat a burrito.
Blast from the Past:
Who do you go to
When you need someone to
Discuss life’s questions?

The little droplets
As I race by, a whole world
In the fading dew
Blast from the Past:
Water drop colors –
Unique in how it reflects
Back light from its world

My curiosity knows
Only the bounds of how much
My body can handle
Blast from the Past:
I do believe in
Answers; I just believe in
Questions even more

Mall Christmas jingles,
Announcing the arrival
Of capitalism
Blast from the Past:
A merry Christmas
To all, whether you do or
Do not celebrate
(For anyone who noticed that I have posted haikus in the last few days, I left my laptop on an airplane. I got it back, but for a few days, I was computer-less and thus unable to log in. I wrote a haiku a day over the last few days, but now that I am back, you’ll see me slowly start to post them over the next few days.)

Waiting while it loads
Watching my slow computer
Take such a long time
Blast from the Past:
I’m like a glacier:
Slow-moving til you get to
My ice-cracking tip.

I am about to leave for a camping trip from September 10th until October 28th during which I will not have consistent internet access. Thus, I will not post my daily haikus until around October 28th, 2025. I will still write them every day, but just won’t have the internet to post them during this time. So, when I get back, I hope to slowly post the ones I wrote during this trip after the fact.
