10/23/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

I stare at the screen
Pure blankness, taking in the
Pleasures of boredom

Blast from the Past:

Technology may
Kill creativity by
Killing our boredom

Old memories haunt
As an oozing infection
If you don’t tend to them

Blast from the Past:

It’s like a ghost
That’s been following us both
Vague and unseen

A one cup coffee
Pick me up zooms me into
The hyped stratosphere

(I’m so buzzed that I may just take over the world today.)

Blast from the Past:

If only I’d pause
In this transitory world
To smell the flowers

Giant razor clams
Open to suddenly slam shut
Teasing what’s inside

Blast from the Past:

Inside a conch shell
Cradled by the ocean’s sighs,
At peace from it all

Pinky, not the Brain,
Is the one who understands
The world’s meaning: Narf!

Blast from the Past:

Nothing’s better than
Achieving your long-sought goal
To feel hollowness.

Signs litter the land
Watch out for them, but where are
These cassowaries?

Blast from the Past:

Now that I finished
All of my tasks, emptiness
Washes over me

A midnight meeting
Woke up in the back of my van
To talk to the US

Blast from the Past:

A job will take all that you are willing to give it.

(An aphorism)

The gentle breeze sweeps
Across the stale heat along
The dusty desert

Blast from the Past:

I’m in the hot sun
Swaying in my seat trying
To produce a breeze

I sit here thinking
Up the poem I will write
One word at a time

Blast from the Past:

I must write one of
These haikus. If only I had
Any inspiration.

Oh waters of Babylon
Can your ever
Collect all my tears?

Blast from the Past:

Every tear wept
By the abused is a crown
Drawn to a new dawn
