Bashō says something unhelpful
Bad Haiku
Horrible poetry for the digital age
29 Years, 76 Days and 78047 Haiku later...
rain drops down the glass,
slide slowly to a slip stream,
in wind furrowed tracks

and don't forget poor
marvin, who's only sin was
to see life as it

is, people are ones
not to appreciate such
robots with brains the

size of a planet
but want that piece of paper
picked up, appliance

here, killed thousands in thailand
in tsunami form

yet, we ride them on

the right decisions clarity

at times i wonder
why the bored are so inclined
to out and destroy...

a clockwork orange
are they, shall we break these toys
and snap their gears, watch

them twitch as the child
machines mimic nothing human
and flee as toys

in the end I think
there's some closure, the old man
told me about reiki

as he coughed sadly
about christ's evil, and showed
his dowsing necklace...

so much like little
gerald gardner did he seem
lost in his own myths...

all gone to tumor

were just in your crib...

raise one's self, new orphans in
the city on a hill

grief gives way to grief
then to memory, past joys and

hide behind a mask, and buy

I too wear a mask
