Anyone who has
Never been perplexed will never
Become informed

Blast from the Past:

How I take simple
Questions and then making them
Now complicated

I refuse to be
Defined by your quest to push
Me up to your oblivion

No matter how many
Times you push me, I will
Always bounce back

— The stone’s response to Sisyphus

I can’t sit still, yet
I feel agitated when
I go do something

Blast from the Past:

Excitement surrounds
In this amazing place, and all
I want is to sleep

Birthed out of the
Stone that seeks Sisyphus is
Modernity’s madness

Blast from the Past:

The generation
Before the ark, the age of
Insignificance

You will never feel
Satisfied until you learn
You have all you need.

Blast from the Past:

They dig deep for it
But it has always been here
In their inner core

True damnation is
The aspects of you that you
Could never resolve.

Blast from the Past:

I approach an abyss
That I am afraid
To learn I’ve been inside all along

This photo is a great encapsulation what I am trying to say in both of my haikus.

You will never be
Satisfied in life until
You choose to just be

Blast from the Past:

I push up the stone,
Pledging to help Sisyphus,
Freedom in routine

(I really like this photo, since it does a great job reflecting both poems. To me, it’s like the boy just chooses to be and is smiling behind the rocks while helping Sisyphus.)

Everyday the same
Clank the mailman delivered
New junk to throw out

Blast from the Past:

How to smoothen
The silence of an
Morning annoyance.

Medieval cities,
Where rich traders gather
Within their walled fort

Blast from the Past:

Discourse and knowledge
Foundation of an ethic
Enchanted moderns

Flapping his mighty wings,
The caged eagle
Must be lonely

Blast from the Past:

Sitting on the train
Here among a crowd, we are
All in this alone
