Dismalland

Splendid Friday morning
Thronging in a Disney dream
Myriad Asian faces all
Variations on a common theme


Weather Motion

Water as rainfall
Having been sent
Clouds rode the winds
And away they went

Home For The Elderly

The nice assisted living
Room, a placeholder,
For those who will
Not get much older...

Change Of Air

Open the windows
Let the breeze flow through
Stale rooms feel
Fresh and new

梅雨前線

All humid green alive
Under cement-colored sky
Waiting for rain season to arrive

Post Repast

Enjoy the pleasure
Of drinking an eating
Exquisite it feels
But oh so fleeting...

Going Nowhere

Staring out his windshield,
His look is empty, void,
Perhaps he's tired, bored,
Or something nice got destroyed...

Impossible to tell,
All stuck in traffic,
In our car-built hell...

Weather On Thursday

Rain swept morning
Cool evaporation
And an expectation
Of thunder in
The afternoon
Air explosions on
A day gone too soon

Education In America

Brand new barbed wire
Glimmers under the sun,
Meant to defend us,
And teacher’s got a gun...
Bag check at the entry,
Because that is the rule,
To protect us from some
Random shooting fool,
Keep the compound safe,
Welcome to my school...

A Lesson

Come too late to discern
Her anger’s roots in love
Live and learn...

Berthed

The old ship at the pier
Makes a humming noise
Longing for the seas
Beyond the channel buoys

Fujisawa Terrace Mall

Enjoy the banal joys
A cloudy weekday brings
Trapped in the fun house
Made by the others running things...

Wrong Impression

He thought what
He saw in her eyes
Was wide open
Joy and surprise
But it wasn’t and
Hence his demise...

Wear And Tear

Start the day, inspired,
Hope it lasts before
The lights expired,

Conviction,
Enthusiasm, reduced
By friction...

What Comes Next

Pray and hope
For come what may
Hunker and cope
With come what will

From The Sky

When the rain
Is water, vice bombs,
Much less pain...

Victory dropped
By the air force plane

Conscientious Sniper

The secret to staying sane
Is to not look at the face,
Just squeeze the trigger
At the body moving in space...

Aisle 3, Canned Goods

Here life has led me,
This is who I am,
Circling in the market
Pushing a pram...

Hangover

Random dude, out on the couch,
Pizza bits stuck on ceiling & rafter,
Half-full cups of beer, some underwear,
Reminders of fun, the morning after...

Endless

A sick thing happened to me,
Almost broke my brain
Thinking about infinity...

Dues

One always
Ends up paying,
No free lunch,
Goes without saying...
