We devour rage
And it seeps into our bones
One tweet at a time
A meditation on modern culture. Am I off base? What do you think?
~Carl
poetry, prose, and photography
Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.

I delight
In pens
Typewriters
And exquisite
Fine stationary

I adore this shot
The way light’s splaying outwards
Cutting through the dark

Flowers in the night
Do they notice the street light?
A breeze from the west
Another meditation from an evening walk. These walks clear my mind of the day’s mania. Thus they’re very welcome to me.
My mind is busy
Within this predawn darkness
The birds are silent

Love is many things
Over and under rated
Creates joy and pain

His smile in my mind
A friend’s son just took his life
These clouds are broken
My heart is heavy today. We can be so cruel sometimes, especially with ourselves. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts please know you are not alone and that there are people who will help.

Flavors of China
Dancing upon my palette
I can eat outdoors
Tonight’s haiku is about dim sum.


Sunlight on my skin
Fading into memory
Darkness approaches
