Summer Haiku

The Universe is

experiencing itself

through my consciousness.

Playful cat chasing

summer shadows, unaware

the hawk chases him.

Observing the fly

walk the blades of summer grass,

I feel like a god.

The Journey of Life:

stumbling between two dark holes

alone with reason.

Morning dew lingers

then hangs heavy in the air

spurned by listless clouds.

Fat woman snoring

across the aisle, a bad day

to forget headphones.

On awakening,

fat woman eats her Cheetos--

My diet starts today.

Son of Fat Woman:

reeks of smoke, saggy pants, hoody.

We do not judge...much.

Full figured woman

losing gravity's challenge,

I wish her good luck.

-Amtrak, Fremont to Sacramento
