Treats

She brought the special brownies,

And it was after our ingesting,

That the office party 

Started weirding and zesting,

Things got interesting...

From Point A To Point B

Within the store, take

All the time you need,

But going to another store,

Walk with intent and speed...

Boundary

Light from the Sun's shine,

Enters the Moon's darkness,

Twilight along the Terminator Line,

Moving ahead, 10 miles-per-hour,

Day and night intertwine...

七里ヶ浜

A bit off-shore, the

Surfer patiently waits,

For a wave to ride, and the

Short thrill it generates,

Floating for empty hours,

To fill a need,

To pleasure in the

Water's surge and speed...

Faith In Mechanics

Trusting machines, and

Methods true & tried,

Launching into the sky,

We go along for the ride,

But if something breaks,

There’s no place to hide...

Right Around Sunset

A mystical time

Is twilight,

When, magic seems

Like it might...

Before dissolving

Into the night...

Impropriety

She is affable,

And nice,

Until I offer

Fashion advice...

Business As Usual

Sometimes, things never improve,

Because some folks won’t,

Or, some things, just don’t...

臨機応変

It was a brilliant plan

At the start,

But then it ran into

Reality, and fell apart,

And that, in short,

Is the reason why,

We are frantic, and

Doing things on-the-fly...

B-29

Loaded with bombs, through

The clouds we fly,

While the bullets

And shrapnel try,

To eviscerate us,

Up in the sky,

It doesn’t 

Stop us though,

From dropping death

On those below...

Disconnects

Mistrust, misunderstanding,

Between ours and theirs,

Unfortunate reality 

Of human affairs,

And the bridges

Need constant repairs...

Plains Train

Out from the vanishing point,

Powerful mechanical wondra,

Diesels forward across

The frozen American tundra...

Point Of View

It doesn't always 

Await ahead,

So, try looking

Behind instead...

Inert

Untethered, almost

Paralyzed,

Freedom is

Boredom disguised...

The Middle Of The Night

Oh, for goodness sake,

Cringe dream,

Now I’m awake,

The after effects

Keep,

Me from getting

Back to sleep...

Ancient Meat Memories

Suburban back yard

Barbecue feast,

Blood rare slices

Of roasted beast,

Primal instinct 

Appetites released...

Mission Execution

Tactical maneuvers at

Retail mall location,

Reconnaissance runs,

Command by negation,

Close control via

Cellular communication,

Providing support for

Her shopping operation...

Anti Egg Head

Some members

Of humankind,

Live in a

Red State of mind,

What doesn’t match their

Faith, is simply dismissed,

Science rejected,

Ignorance blissed...

Our Modern Delusion

Eat the bark

Of the fever tree,

Call it all

A conspiracy,

Because we

Always knew,

It came

From Q...

Harbinger

April, wet green,

And replete,

With hints of

The coming heat...

Debate Club

Counter argument offered,

Eyebrow raised, arms crossed,

Firing for effect,

Otherwise completely lost...

Viva Las Vegas

It's like a superstition,

Temporary insanity, oddity,

Trying to control luck

As if it was a commodity,

Paying money, based

On how you feel,

Betting on the number 

Of a Roulette wheel...    

ミスド

Momentarily,

Lost in a pause,

Donut shop, coffee...
