"Roadkill" (P.o.t.D. 6/16/16)

A twisted skeleton
Beside busy highway -
Umbrella abandoned
When fierce rains made it splay,
Upward, outward, useless?

A corpse lays in the street -
Server's black cash apron,
Tossed away in the heat
Of mad furies from work,
When she was called useless...

So much trash, scattered 'round;
Relics of our culture
That one day will be found
By descendents, for sure,
Who cast us as useless.

"Celebrating Rain" (P.o.t.D. 6/16/16)

Happy about rains,
Plants stretch sweet flowers to me
Along walks to work.

Blade Runner end scene quote

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." -Roy Batty, Bladerunner

"Times Unjust" (P.o.t.D. 6/12/16)

Life has lost its luster,
Dulled by bickering and fighting,
And having to choose
From a menu chock full of bad diets.

Love tries to find root,
Cracking a stone-dead heart,
Raising bile when threatened
By senseless attacks upon the cherished.

This is but an impromptu piece,
Written on the cuff,
Attempting to capture
The despair, the ennui, the lonely place..?

So, forgive, if you will,
Or revile, if you must,
This feeble spark of anger
In the face of times unjust.
