Choose to be crabby
Dwell on the negative side
And the world seems bleak
Never will escape
The greed and intrigue of those
Above and below
It satisfies less
But is easier to get
Than that which fulfills
Always get nervous
Before speaking in public
But not while on stage
Waiting to connect
Mixed signals and dropped phone calls
Alone in public
Some don’t get published
I give you so many but
Some are just for me
Inspiration strikes
When I am on the road and
Exposed to new things
How does one discern
Sincere words of wisdom from
Empty platitudes?
Day to day we’re not
Afraid of dying. Most are
Afraid of living
It was yesterday
Or the day before. My time
Never seems my own
You’re running too fast
To know where you are going
It’s a blind alley
Who’s the builder and
Who’s the tool? Are you sure? Look
At what’s being built
Old man underwear
Waistband rides on belly roll
Looks wider than you
Write one page per day
Don’t worry if good or bad
Edit it later
The myth of control
Natural consequence of
The myth of free will
Write yourself a note
The most important thing that
You always forget
A head for business
And a temperament to match
What’s he doing here?
The life you have is
The one you made while you weren’t
Paying attention
He wants a trophy
Doesn’t know there’s more to learn from
Losing than winning
Not sure this will work
Also not sure how trusting
Guy upstairs will help
Stop being prepared
Can’t predict what happens next
Just go with your gut
We who are between
Still charge the hills as if young
Bitter when we fail
The old don’t attempt
They know their limits and stay
Where they won’t be hurt
The young charge up it
Drunk with power of their legs
No hill is too steep
Three generations
One young, one old, one between
All face the same hill
In a hospital
Two thousand miles away, yet
Offering wisdom
The story seems real
They ask if it’s where I work
It’s where we all do
The plants are sprouting
Pushing again through the soil
Hope springs eternal
Can a haiku with
This title not mention the
Number of the beast?
Haiku is wisdom
Brought to light for a moment
Quickly forgotten
Unable to sleep
Taking a new approach but
Still plagued with worry
