Random Thoughts 7: Military Kid
I am from nowhere
And everywhere
My home is with the open road
And the setting sun
On the horizon of the Pacific

Random Thoughts
When random thoughts are bombarding a mind,
Cohesiveness among them is hard to find.
Metaphors and symbols just like in one’s dreams,
Even what is seen, is not what it seems.
One must not resist, just let the thoughts flow.
Look for the patterns and see what they show.
They show the direction, but rarely the conclusion,
There isn’t much reason, just

Of the Earth's gravity
And my mass tethering my body
To this rock in space

Random Thoughts 1: Face wash
I wash my face twice a day
Once vigorously
As if I am exercising demons
Residing in my pores
And once gently
In circular, sweeping movements
Like I am washing away the crust of tears
That have come to settle on my cheeks

Sudden notions bloom,
Unfurling in silent minds,
Worlds in a moment.

Random Thoughts
Where are all those random thoughts that are filling my head
Should I get myself up or should I just stay in bed
What tasks do I need to get done today
Do I have the energy or desire to do them anyway
So much work to be done, wash the car, cut the grass
Not to mention making

a hundred random thoughts
my life is a discombobulation of endless thoughts
like food is NOT my friend exercise is my friend
fasting MAY be a good idea
eating takes up way too much time
death is hanging over me like a dark cloud
I watch too much TV

Random Thoughts Hs
little high with drinks
the mind spins with delusions
sees many visions
two headed shadows
from two adjacent lamp posts
lose destinations
three deer on the trail
show their grace and elegance
quickly disappear
migratory geese
settle over fields in night
eagles are asleep
my visions are bit clear now
its time to move on for now

Haiku of Random Thoughts
Clutching golden rings
The divorcees sign the end
Of a bad divorce
The stranger arrives
Grasping the death sentences
The locals refuse
Troops converge with drums
Signaling to the vultures
That prey has arrived

Random Thoughts On the Humdrum
I have wondered about mundane things
Would they have become spectacular,
Noteworthy, perchance, balls of strings
If given purpose, a splendid piacular?
Not everything is special and/or pristine.
Actually, most things are commonplace
Not everything is a finely-tuned machine
Like the works behind the watch’s face.
So much of life, I think, is run-of-the-mill
Which accounts for same ‘ol, same ‘ol.
I am inclined to
