As I stare into
The abyss, eyes peering back
A gaze, which is mine

Each piece beautiful
Each distinctly unique
Each one critical

Porn Bots Come And Go
Porn bots come and go
They follow you, then vanish
The internet’s tao
Ah, those followers that appear briefly then vanish abruptly….

Winter advances
Yet the solstice passed us by

How We View Women: A Tanka
How we view women

As the clock keeps beckoning

Germs are in control
Obediently I sleep
Rest eluding me
Ah, fighting germs again. A slow lingering cough my main symptom, a long with my lack of energy.
