11/23/25 A New Poem for a New Day

Flying down the mountain
On the back of a motorbike
Bump, bump, bump throbs my butt
Each thud sliding me further back in the seat
Until I slide into the metal grate
The tiny guard preventing me from flying off the edge

Blast from the Past:

My last chance to feel.
I am this great, unstable
Mess of blood and mud

Nothing’s happening.
The world spins on outside my walls
While I just stay home

Blast from the Past:

I show up every
Day, going through the motions.
Nothing seems to change

Sleeping in after
Adventures throughout the countryside
A slow morning yawn

(I am feeling less literal in my syllable counts today.)

Blast from the Past:

Sleeping in, you learn
The extent to which the world
Spins on without you

11/16/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Like a galaxy,
Oh the wondrous beauty of
Street trash in the rain

Blast from the Past:

Tick tock of the clock
With the faint trickle underneath
Of a gushing stream
