Mixed Nuts

His sentiment,
That irony
Is a supplement,

Not only that,
But seriously thinks
The Earth is flat,

But before you gloat,
Or chuckle, remember,
He has the right to vote...

Instigation

The sad thing is that
When activists collide,
They start to insist you
Must take a side,
Don't ride the fence
And avoid the fight,
And naturally, their
Side is always right...

西洋ネズの果実

Forced by circumstance
To pause, and think,
Quickly conclude that
I need a strong drink,
A short time thereafter,
Some Juniper gins
Wake up my neurons,
Analysis begins...

Sugar Therapy

When stressed-out, overwhelmed,
Your optimism hurt,
Give yourself a break
And have some dessert...

Routine

Take comfort from continuum,
And what repeats,
Sunrises, sunsets,
And regular heart beats...

Plus-Sized

Lazy-lost and
Overweight, addicted,
Failure was totally
Self-inflicted...

Sunday Bargaining

On the seventh day,
The congregation
Gathers to deal with God,
Prayers a negotiation,
Requests for miracles
And special favor,
To be granted
By the holy savior...

ラブホテル

Hotel Sunset lighting up
With pastel neon power,
Pink glow in the gloaming,
Rents its rooms by the hour...

梅雨入り

Water pouring from the sky
Soaks, floods, corrades,
The slick humid green
Land of the gods...

Small Town Null

Bored out of our minds
At the Dairy Queen
Wanna be twenty one
But stuck at sixteen
Waiting for what
The day might bring
To end our coma
Something, anything

Auto Repeat

Late afternoon
Early to bed
Same song playing
Over and over in my head

Wasted Moments

Time sometimes seems
To twist and enlarge
While stuck waiting
To recharge...

Darwinian

An election
Is a form of
Natural selection...

Politicians, regardless
Of fame, or distinction,
Always facing
Potential extinction...

夏至 2020

Accumulate pedometer steps,
Trudging from there, to here,
Aimlessly, knowingly, on the
Longest day of the year...

RIP, Calvin Munerlyn

Essential employee, doing his
Job, a thankless task,
Shot to death for telling
Someone to wear a mask...

Reminder

A wound will usually
Bind and heal,
A scar remains to
Show how you feel...

Sunset Reality Check

End of day, above is all lavender
Light blue, orange, and pink.
And what craziness, tragedy,
Will tomorrow bring, I think,
But mostly out of my control,
Not much need to wonder why,
What will happen, will happen,
Realized under an evening sky...

Peace

Turned it off, and
All is quiet bliss,
No need-to-know,
Don’t care what I miss...

The Price Of Order

Enforce the laws,
And serve and protect,
Not always congruent,
As one would expect...

Look

Wait, halt your movement, and take
A good look at your stopping spot,
You’ll see small wonder and beauty,
More often than not...

Anchor

Sometimes, at the end of a day,
Just need to grab onto something,
To keep from being swept away...
