ouch!

Sorry no haiku today. I'm feeling grumpy, uncreative and my tooth hurts. Vicodin take me away! I am anxiously awaiting the knock back of a few vodka tonics ASAP. I am very bad at ignoring pain but trying to stay positive. (I'm sure in about 20 minutes or so the Vics will very much help that)

glorious reckless abandon
lusty thwarts the lazy summer
buffalo bar crawl awaits!

media vomit

media vomits opinion over the uneducated
idiocy? rationality?
two heads of the same beast

disheveled chaos: GWB effect

Absurdity gaths momentum
masses controlled by fear are
driven into disconnect

yet to come?

Spark of cells dividing
Robs her waist, fills her life
makes me feel empty inside

"Western Haiku's"

5-7-5? No way! In case anyone is counting, let me introduce you to my form or lack thereof. Jack Kerouac and Michael McClure and the SanFrancisco Poetry renaissance started the concept of "Western Haiku." (I tend use them as they are easier to write and are still a fun way to get the point across.)
The basic 5-7-5 syllabic requirements are chucked but I try to stick with the thematic guidelines of the Japaneese haiku as mastered by Basho, Buson, and Issa, namely:
1) Seasonal references (kigo) to establish time and place
2)The moment seized and rendered purely, captured in an instant of Buddhist (or Zen) enlightenment
3)Reflections of particular consciousness, or point of view of the author, his or her lonliness, comedy or anger.

If interested check out (my inspiration) the book: the haiku year. Written by Tom Gilroy, Grant Lee Phillips, Michael Stipe, Anna Grace, Jim mcKay, Douglas A Martin, and Rick Roth.

marriage that works

We plan on eloping
then moving into our very own
separate appartments
