River's Edge

Placid icy waters flow
Rhythmically laps the shore
Knitting icy lace

Awoken

Tinged with a green haze
a tender 5 o'clock shadow
Burst from swollen buds

Ungrateful

Without them I’d tip
Fall and perhaps break my nose
Yet still I stub them

Individuality and Unity

A situation
Infinite combination
Defines who we are

Practiced empathy
Human imagination
Peace and harmony

Unforgettable Day

Bloody broken shields
Strewn along the battlefield
Someones mom or child

Thought Experiment

Total darkness
Eyes opened or closed there is nothing but black
	Everywhere

Hairs and nerve endings stretched to the limit
	Feeling nothing 
no clothing
no temperature
no moisture
Utterly weightless

Ears ring with complete silence
	Heart pounding unheard
	Exhale – inhale not even a hush
Panicked thoughts scream

Where am I? 
How long have I been here?
Time alternately races and plods on

An unseen floor presses against tense feet
	Or do tense feet press against an unseen floor
Coarse wooden fibers prick tender soles
Pressure up or is it down creates the sensation of standing
	Like on the bottom of a swimming pool
	Fleeting contact that takes effort to maintain
	Except now there is nothing to push against to preserve the connection


The pressure increases against feet tingling with sensation
	Causing relaxed legs to bend slightly at the knee and ankle
	As if sitting in an imaginary chair
	
Thigh and calf muscles strain against the rapidly increasing force of the floor
	Core muscles flex for balance
	Arms and shoulders tighten searching for support in pitch black emptiness
	A drop of sweat begins to tickle down the left armpit

Technologys Nemesis

Change the only norm
Ride the fiery dragon
On a haiku saddle

Lickety Split

L eeping from his stupor
I van dashed out the door to his 
c ar.
K eys in hand he
e yed his brand new
T oyota Supra Turbo.
Y anking the door open he jumped in the drivers

s eat started the engine, slammed it into gear and 
p ushed the gas pedal.
L istening to the roar of the engine
i gnited his senses. Filled with adrenaline he
t ore down the highway lickety split.
