Bad Haiku
Horrible poetry for the digital age
27 Years, 162 Days and 77043 Haiku later...

Sometimes I think about a person
I haven't seen in years
Then about a day later I see them
Sometimes it's awkward
Sometimes it's nice
Sometimes both
Memory flows tidally
I've got my eye on the moon
She never lets me down
I love her

Who needs belief
When you have direct experience
I have food you don't know about
Had to go out on the roof to get it
Tripped but I didn't fall
I flew
Saw things from above
Still stuck down here though

Can't help it
My ancestors were genocidal
Like father like son
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Unless planted on a hill
But I think I'll be peaceful
Vote for me
I probably won't kill everyone
That'll be my campaign slogan
"I PROBABLY WON'T KILL EVERYONE"
First lady Morningstar
Get it?
Is this thing on?!

100,000 tons of plastic in the ocean
Missionaries told me they don't care
God will take care of it
Even though He told the first father
Replenish the earth
Maybe they were actually Satanists
And are oblivious
Don't worry God WILL take care of it
Human mass extinction event via
Supersonic tsunami
Biowarfare
Cull the herd
Depopulation
Popularity contest over
Only GMO humans will survive
Some sort of seal

Ask me for the truth
World where people are objects
And objects people

Dark wings unfurling
Environment deciding
Factor who to be

Mechanism of
Defense every animal
Some sort of weapon

maybe i'm a danged bore
a masochist after all
dealing with some health stuff

but it makes me want
to fight more and more and to
just win, driven by

revenge, the urge to
beat something that refuses
to be beaten, bad

Once bread was something new
I wonder if there's a way to bring back the excitement
Maybe with a good marketing strategy
With a patient disposition
The food downstairs is boring
Compared to what I have in my room
I have told you don't know about

So there I was
Listening to multiple conversations at the same time
Semantic saturation is when everything sounds like gibberish unless its musical
The church bell rang out the time
All conversation stopped
Deja vu
Uncomfortable realization of mortality
A public epiphany
And then they start talking again like nothing happened
The private dream can become public myth

I'd much rather surf
than write a fucking haiku,
but, like, whatever.

I might have cancer.
Or a nasty hemorrhoid.
Time for a check up.

For now I'll live life.
I'd love me some pot brownies
or ganja goo balls.

If it is cancer,
I'll go whoring and drinking
and take lots of drugs.

Chemotherapy
is more gay than getting fucked
by an ass tumor.

Frozen time bathing in light

Echoes in the spring

Friend from past is never lost
Singing sweet embrace

Forgetting fires

Insects fly naive

Awaiting knowledge

My ocean treasures:
Lighters, diapers, plastic bags, stryofoam cups, plastic bottles, batteries, sandles, motor oil and antifreeze containers, sunglasses, chips and other junk food bags, a large suitcase full of meth and cash sealed in ziploc bags and duct tape, cigarette butts, lost t-shirts, and shreds of fishing nets.

I have stopped counting due to the fact that throughout the day I often find myself counting the silly bulls (sic) plodding through my mind and it was kind of making me crazy. So I said, "enough of this shite!" and now I do not count and I feel there is a great freedom in not following these rules.

Tampons in the ocean.
Diapers oozing gel and baby shit.
Ramen cups and plastic spoons.
This is wrong.
Die, humans, die.
