Mysteries of Etiquette

Recreational
Past-times spent on the toilet
Sadly not discussed.

Priorities

I will sleep right now
When I am dead I will be
Probably busy.

Silent Sigh

The air is putrid
I hope nobody noticed
Time for another.

Manipulation

Give me your bias
And fill me with those half-truths
We will live your way.

Unliving

Eyes that see no sense
A mouth that speaks no language
A mind unaware.

Mind

My mind is a box
Like a Chinese finger trap
That will not let go.

Activity

Inside a cafe
Conversation flows freely
Coffee pours likewise.

Anticipation

My last day on Earth
My send-off, my last hot meal
Was rather mundane.

Limits

Infinite is not
The scope at which we can think
Nor can we fathom

Obligations

My heavy-weight eyes
Suffer from early mornings
And plead for a rest.

Balance

I am become Death
Notable adversary
To all that must live.

Swerve

Witness reality
Slip by our line of vision
And into a ditch.

Hopes #2

If that is enough
I shall sit on the sofa
Known as victory.

Hopes #1

I shall push myself
Past the grasp of the basket
Named Mundanity

Acceptance

Today's Haiku is
Not particularly good
I am a giraffe.

Pressure

Our hopes and fears should
Not be based on the outside
But solely by you.

Jump

The world stopped spinning
And everyone suddenly
They started to move.

The End

The apocalypse
Is our secret hope and dream
We will start to live.

Self-fulfilling

Speak of the devil
Of course he shall come, for we
Are his creator.

Pancakes!

Food in the morning
Drips greedily off my chin
And spills on the floor.

Limits

Infinite is not
The scope at which we can think
Nor can we fathom.

Truth

My self reflected
Squinting in the shattered glass
We are both broken.

Stories

I have lived a life
Telling my tales aplenty
They stop feeling real.

The Game

Beauty is a myth
Taken from shallow nonsense
We all play along.

Sound Logic

Take a leaf from me
Your appearance matters not
When I hear your voice.

Bad Writing

The twist at the end
Was so obvious that it
Seemed not important.

Escape

Take me away from
The mundanity of this
And show me a life

Irony

Escape from prison
Into a world of hideouts
A whole new prison.

Lost

Throw me in a well
Lend a map that can't be read
In such a dark place.

End

Waiting in a queue
Filled with robots and corpses
Only survivor.

Longing

Take my breath away
Promise me a single thing
Never give it back.

Disagreements

Broken glass table
Too many things left unsaid
No trust anymore.

The Promise

Forget over-kill
For death comes only one time
So don't be greedy.

Emotion

I knew a girl once
Who read with too much feeling
She cried the whole time.

Legacy

Everything we made
Smiles, tears, and kids with our names
Was made out of love

Plan

Gripping the pencil
Keeping to rigid schedule
Twice daily haiku.

Love

Show me paradise
And a hidden truth laid bare
I'll open my heart.

Telling

The pretty horses
All have darker tales to tell
If you care to pry.

Perception

None of this is real
But my eyes see only this
So let me believe.

FLDSMDFR

Twenty five plus views
Cloudy With Chance Of Meatballs
And it gets better.

Journeys

I travel the world
From one blink to the other
Letters on a page.

6

Here comes a saga
Please leave well enough alone
And call it a day.

The Wild

In the wild wild west
Squeamish was never a word
So forget your qualms.

5

A quintology
Leaves a lot to be desired
And some more loose ends.

Enthusiasm

Once more with feeling
Throw your arms up in the air
Cheer me with your heart.

4

Now we are dragging
A story through muddy grounds
Stretched to my limit.

Unexpected Evenings

Shaving brother's hair
Is infinitely more fun
Than anything else

Change

Times are a changin'
Said a man of some standing
And so are my pants.

3

But a trilogy
It marks a finality
See melancholy.

Obligations

Sad are early nights
Even earlier mornings
What's a chump to do.

2

Sequels are funny
With hope and expectation
We are disappoint.

Seeing

I was never old
Simply a variation
Of my present age.

1

Everything must start
With a bang or a whimper
So let us begin.
