The Cattle Scene
(haiku)

On a dusty trail
the herd meanders along
under spacious skies.

*

They all want riches.
They all want the next big thing.
They all get dry grass.

*

Corporate freedom
is now the new religion.
Moo hallelujah!

Like a Magic Show
(haiku-style)

If you're distracted 

you can be sold anything

like preemptive war,

but once distracted 

you must remain distracted

less you bear the shame

or you can elect
the likes of a whipping-boy
to bear it for you.

Reality Lost

Star struck, dumb struck, 

eyes bulging,  staring

at a two dimensional screen,

makes me want to scream 

wake up!

The Marriage Thing

An exclusive club 

that allows most of us in

is not exclusive 

or even special.

So why do they get upset 

when more fools want in? 

Sound bites simplify 

a vast, overwhelmingly  

complicated world.

*

Believing sound bites 

is like putting all your hope 

on a blade of grass,

or a grain of sand,

or a flash of light,

or a god not there.

Under the Sun

A memory is always vague, always dissipating 

even when remembering yesterday 

yet billion dollar industries are structured upon 

it’s reinvention.

After watching ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ 

I wondered why 

‘Eraserhead’ wasn’t nominated for Academy Awards. 

Then I remembered 

back then we didn’t reward stupidity
like we do now.
