I understand that, relatively speaking, we seem like just one, but I like to think we’re at least several specks of dust among the cosmos

Nothing that I’m competent in has a viable standard career path

May you never find yourself as the subject of someone’s generalized need for revenge

Fuck it. Balkanization.

I want to live in times so peaceful that a single paragraph in a history textbook spans multiple generations on either end of my entire life.

Unfortunately, we are ruled by people who want entire chapters of those same textbooks to be adorned with their last name.

they really got up there and said that because the pit bull was snarling and growling we decided to control the situation and shoot the person they were snarling and growling at

One need only glance at the proliferation of gambling to understand why it was so illegal in the first place

There’s already a dangerous nuclear-armed state in that region and it’s not Iran.

I write with paper and pen and feel I may be approaching something

then I begin typing it up to share

and am reminded how long the road goes.

“close”
#haikufeels

Horizon shows forms.
Approaching as dusk now dawns.
Night. They arrive. Run.

“pace”
#haikufeels

Breakneck, but relax!
Do it now, but don’t burnout.
Optimize yourself.

“blame”
#haikufeels

Standard matters not,
intent rests in placing sin.
Made a goat of you.

“track”
#haikufeels

Walk. Watch. It follows.
Hivemind’s eye notes all movement.
It knows. No chance stood.

“look”
#haikufeels

Oh. To be exposed.
Horrified at this presence,
know not what it’s seen.

“beg”
#haikufeels

Standing there, smiling.
It’s obvious what they want.
Defiant. Refuse.

“fidget”
#haikufeels

Less than natural,
stillness demanded no less.
Commanded through shame.

“refuse”
#haikufeels

That we cannot use
flows discarded, lands unseen,
and lays forgotten.

“occupy”
#haikufeels

They enter freely.
Only so much can be done.
Frozen above ground.

“feel”
#haikufeels

Something. Something, please.
Walls so sterile, not so clean.
No spirits endure.

“cancel”
#haikufeels
