we can't be trusted with this flame

we can't be trusted to tend to it

we can't be trusted not to let it burn our lives down

and we cannot be trusted not to let it die quietly in our midst.

premature

immature

what we've lost we may never know

what we've lost we may never get back.

sometimes I pray we're given another chance

to keep it alive.

to care


APRIL 21 2017

Adam West pulled down more pussy than Hugh Hefner.
The Batman and Robin orgies are legendary.
If I were there, I would have been the Joker.
But were there drugs? That would have been ironic.

Na na na na na
na na na na na na na
na na na na Batman!

Not quite a haiku, but that's okay.

i had to look that
up about Adam West, i
wonder if people

might check out the old
shows sooner or later, I
think they were ahead

of their time with the
speed that they went at, adam
is gone, quite a thought...

bye, caped crusader
bat signal fades in the west
and it's like, kapow !

well i hate to be
older, i want my body to
do my thing not do

it's own thing without
any sense it needs to keep on
trucking and working

People take easy
Over the inconvenient
There's less resistance

But what do I know
I'm just a guy that likes to
Haiku on the roof

i wonder why times
like these fall apart into
polarized sub sets

if you are into
yoga then your body just
might behave itself

the body fights with the
mind over who is in charge
eventually the mind

leaves the body and the
body dies, either the mind goes
up or down or comes back

Flush toilet and spray
My sensors detect methane
Congratulations

well you know if you
like pina colatas you
might just be on vacation

Idea: Smart Toilet
Congratulates when pooping
Also writes haikus

I remember reading the comments
To a Bob Dylan song on YouTube
One person's was weird
So I checked out their profile
They had posted just one thing
A video of them eating a bowl of cereal
Maybe schizophrenia is when
You're the only one in on the inside joke

I'd rather listen to classical than pop crap any day.
I'd rather get a blow job than write haiku.
I'd rather write haiku than get my work done.
I work better listening to classical music.
I could go for a $20 happy ending.

on the road of life
happiness isn't a place
it's a vehicle

this used to be the
norm of the internet a
sort of post and let

go, forget, and move
on remember and maybe
revisit at times

Two trees on a roof
Produce continuous food
Growing together

the vulgar sorts of
things are shocking at first but
then they get boring

then people put real
effort into art and music
once again though

so many people
segregate themselves to some
corner of the world

and only make stuff for
themselves and their tribe and then
find themselves thrown to

another tribe then
form some kind of new tribe with
the tribe they are put

into by work, love, friends
etc etc etc or cast out as
tribes grow and then shrink

if i hear the kind
of classical music that sounds
like people are in

the process of destroying
their instruments it reminds
me of say close

encounters of the third
kind. The track is called Edgard
Varese-Octandre for Small

Orchestra, stick with the
Piano thing by Alan Hovaness
which is nice but

Squidward is having nightmares right now....."Sppooonge BOB!!!
You just destroyed an
entire Orcestra!!!"

Ok Alan Hovhaness
Visonary Landscapes for Piano
I'm just typing the

title. This one I
like. I grew up with John Williams
Star Wars sound track

you know

Youtube just went
to something called "American
Berserk for piano"

Damn it Double F!
You got me listening to
classical music!

now what's playing????

i kept getting some
emails about Anton Webern
it sounds like a

person killing a
piano, but it is a lot
more fun to hear than

classical classical music

Put plants on your roof.
Your electric bill will drop.
This is not fake news.

Celebrate celibate celebrity
sleeper cell phone sex
booty call rudeness explosion
high decibel flatus
transmission @ 900 mega hurts
fails to retain significance.

People are like glass
They're transparent and fragile
Some are bulletproof

Some roofs can cover
My roof is for sunbathing
I have dread of heights

some walls keep folks out
some are built to define...
others are to wail at

Teachings in war time
Rising sun enhanced by life
Rewards of the dead

Fish swim time to time
Spring blossom destined to pass
Sun shines bright slightly

they get bored with the
same old thing and move on
to new locations

whilst others just keep
on playing uno waiting
for jcpennies

to reopen

testicular binocular tripod survey instrumentation festivities
all ac/dc songs sound like someone is having a really difficult time on the toilet
zit pus culture high society tea drinkers pretending to be British, but down under they drink ball sweat from down under my balls

well, it was 3 lines anyway

i prefer the chili peppers
especially on pizza
hemhorridoids be damned

hem horridoids on steroids bulking up, singing badly, and bench pressing more than I can
bastards

If I fart in the forest
And no one is there to smell it
but all the trees die
was it still an awesome fart?

Time to be a whore.
Chemistry exam gang bang.
Two at the same time.

Two different exams.
How many whores can do that?
Double the money.

Those silly Arabs.
They'll never learn chemistry.
If I cheat for them.

Cell phones are awesome.
Old teachers don't watch for them.
Or Apple watches.

Talk about James Bond.
Super-spy gadgetry cheat.
Cha-cha-cha-cha Ching!

Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
And ain't nothing in this world for free
No, I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
Oh, no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

so four ironic
t-shirts later and re runs
of mork and mindy

I miss Robin who
was Williams, Genie good morning
vietnam! but all

are just women and
men vulnerable as us
all in the end, but

we can remember
we can be inspired and
we can avoid the

same tragedies i hope

i realize the world
has moved on while i watch it
do so around me

right now is a song
by Van Halen but it is
also in reference

to what i am trying to
read right now which is called
get this title please

Ben Sasse's The Vanishing American Adult...

i am not too fond
of amazon because I
can picture this guy

making robots to
drink the coffee for you in
a cafe' and selling

the experience
of once having been going
to those coffee shops

silent but deadly
i have heard of passing "it"
on but by God man

I ripped a good one.
No one is here to smell it.
Silent forest farts.

Cook me when I die
Feed me to the upper crust
An elegant brunch

think of this site as
a sort of haiku twitter
but no registry

off the cuff, an on
line poetry slam where folks
can post....whatever

i mean whatever!

excuse me TECMO Bowl...

i understand football
i don't watch it much but i
like it when i do

i don't know the teams
but i like an old game called
Techno Bowl on the

Original NES...
yes there are video games
in haiku on here

Old Doctor Who, the
monster was made out of bubble
wrap and special lighting

new Doctor Who the
monster is state of the art
CGI and often better

than Hollywood stuff now

i wonder if there's
anyone using old comps
like Apple IIs or

c-64s, or things like
that, look up commodore 64
games on Yo-Tube there

imagine a REAL flop
disc, real like bendy THAT'S how
we did it old school

Simultaneous
masturbation festival
it's nearly bed time

it seems like would be
stand up comedians who
are guys mostly right

now, sort of a kind
of philosopher and a
guy who might be a

real philosopher
professionally (he is now)
posting stuff on here

Verifying disc.
System recovery set.
Shit takes forever.

I don't think I'd like
barbequed iguana sounds
silly folks from there

would eat such a thing
but oh those silly 1980s
trickle down money...

What the fuck kind of
dumb name is Shia LaBeouf
any Goddamn way.
