01/26/25 A New Da, A New Haiku

Finally alone
With the time now to wonder where
Everybody is

Blast from the Past:

Flag on the mountain
Temple of my familiar
Tattoos on the heart

I wrote my poem for today a poem in the programming language Python instead of a haiku:

def nothing():
return 0

try:
perfection = 100
progress = 0
percent_of_success = perfection/progress
except:
nothing()

Blast from the Past:

What do you get by
Winning the rat race but to
Become the best rat

I gaze at the sky
As the clouds turn into
Dragons and tigers.

Blast from the Past:

Watching a fun film
Lying on the couch while two
Cats sleep at my feet

Who am I amidst
The quagmire of debate ‘tween
The self and its brain?

Blast from the Past:

Postmodern crisis:
The power of perspective,
Generative force

I am born anew
In every tomorrow
Approaching promise

Blast from the Past:

If you press hard enough,
Things will shift,
Breaks will come

-Opportunity

Paradise nor fall
Shall come follow me as I
Erase sin’s tongue.

Blast from the Past:

Did Adam and Eve
Ever get to name themselves
In their own garden?

My joints shoot in pain
As I lay down and slowly
Loose my consciousness

Blast from the Past:

Blazing through the storm
Jogging unable to see
Feeling fantastic

Unequal childhoods
Dependent development
Limiting pursuits

Blast from the Past:

We must shine our lights
For the goodness of our one
True god: Capital.

On the plane leaving
The city I have lived in
For the last five years

Many adventures,
Many frustrations, many
Lessons flow beneath me

Come. Prop up your feet.
Watch as our humanity
Slowly melts away.

Blast from the Past:

Brief introduction
Totalitarianism,
Intimate power
