Mirthful

When all is said and done,

Life is the best

When things are fun,

Smiles prevail,

Grimaces undone...

Slav-Sorrowful

What an evil mess they made,

Causing death, pain, and damage,

By choosing to invade...

Swing Elbows Freely

Weekday morning, walking in the Mall,

Open space, half-empty stores,

Hardly any shoppers at all...

Happy to ambulate,

And then I'm gone,

Before the crowds

Arrive later on...

With Soap

Memories, reminders,

Whims and wishes,

Dance in my head

While doing the dishes...

Pachinko

Suzuki-san sits, unmoving,

Mesmerized by the sight

Of ball-bearings bouncing,

Music and light,

He doesn't mind losing

All the money he bet,

Just watches the pinballs,

And hopes to forget... 

Ties The Bind

Acquaintances are wonderful,

But, in the end,

We cling to those

On whom we depend...

Bodies

We human beings,

Made of water and meat,

And a certain amount of fat,

Depending on how you eat...

Transformation

Normally placid and mild,

But after tequilas

He answered the call of the wild...

Bi-Passivity

Some choose

To meditate,

While others

Simply vegetate...

Circular

Full of ourselves,

We blissfully departed,

Only to end up right

Back where we started...

Words Keep Coming

Hard to figure,

Can't explain why,

But the well never

Seems to run dry...

Lunar Healing

A long, drawn, day's end,

Crescent Moon appears

Above, old friend...

Behind The Wheel

He slow cruises down the

Avenue, in a bright red Ferrari,

Top down, all smoothness,

Like on a male myth safari,

Sexy Italian sports car,

Expensive, one and only,

But the solitary driver

Is bored and lonely...

Hubris

Chessboard King

Stands tall and great,

Then comes the Queen,

Check and mate…

Sport

A last-second goal, and victory,

On our sacred football ground,

Our cries, screams, whoops,

Thunder-erupt in an orgasm of sound…

時間潰し

Near comatose at the

Mall, minutes crawl by,

Killing time with coffee,

Complimentary WIFI...

Causation

Do or don't

Often depends on

Will or won't...

Post-Weekend

If Monday

Did not have a name

I wonder if

It would feel the same...

On A Bench

The gloaming, steadily

Edging towards dark,

Drinking canned

Cocktails in the park,

Not really a

Matter of concern.

As I wait, for the

Sunset colors to turn...

Sayonara Dinosaur

Nowhere to hide,

No way to avoid,

The effects, of the crash,

Of the asteroid...
