Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #38919
forget not e.b. white
too much cynicism infects
your target, in turn

Columbine massacres
free access to hand guns
mockery to make self feel better

a friend described internet people as degenerates...
self centered, incapable of

empathy, social idiots,
passive-aggresive, worthless
but who are we really?

I am known to sting
chortle, mock the system
and try to get a kind word

in to bandaid the laceration
so much to make up for
I want to...

too much to live for
eggs, women, poutine
Henry Miller, the dream of

a solid biodiesel, the wet
dream of the purple hared
e-surance sales girl

I'm just a caveman
I don't understand these sophisticated concepts...

stanzas...devouring zen
which cannot be boxed
only a flow, aesthetic rendered

meaningless, but letting go
renders a spirit of release
