Though many don’t care
And they pride themselves on that
I shall choose caring
I don’t mind the nerdly/Pollyanna label: I care. And I have no intention to change that.

Haiku
Seattle and This Morning’s Smoke
Early morning light
Filtered by smoke
Rising from California
Demanding access
To my lungs
Though I resist
My coughing
And sneezing
State clearly
I have lost
The Passage of Heartbeats
Each moment passing
Fading into memory
Waiting on sunlight
In a VW Van
On the edge of sleep
I’m dreaming of road journeys
In a VW van
*pronounce Vee Dub.
A long day done
Though not inspired
Only feeling weariness
Force myself to write
A suburban early morning
Though it’s not yet dawn
The neighbor’s dog is howling
Life in the suburbs
Good Night
The night has come
Motion is now stilling
Dream’s demands coming forth
Wakefulness stills
Another day begins
Another day begins
Accept my limitations
Find my strengths: excel!
One last haiku today
I was going to write
But now I’m falling asleep
Yet I did write this
Too much time on the internet: a haiku
Oh, the internet!
I made a mistake today
Witnessed ugliness
Yeah, spent too much time this evening reading terrible news stories. Humanity’s ability for brutality stuns me beyond all sensibility.
I’ve found that I need to find the good when faced with this. Go create, seek out beauty and kindness.
So, here I am.
