10/28/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

There at the water
That all animals must drink,
The crocodile waits

Blast from the Past:

The frog leaps forward,
The first to charge forth and get
Splattered by a car

A night of bad sleep,
Then a day of much driving
What else till I can rest?

Blast from the Past:

Another day gone.
Unconsciousness welcomes me
Just for a while.

Sitting in the sun
A cool breeze blowing as we eat
Oysters in the bay

Blast from the Past:

Oh how we help catch
Each other’s breath on the days
We rush everywhere

Ever-present heat
Blankets you in mugginess
All throughout the day

Blast from the Past:

Slick yet cracking skin
The dry sun ages young hearts
Dreams dissolve in heat

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
