grinding to a halt

Weaving in his lane
braking towards even green lights
driving towards his grave

priority

Eight days from food cache
Chocolate is running out fast
Send helicopter

4/26/08

Two hours twenty five
couldn't quite break twelve thousand
one good day at Slide

Carson shopping

Turn on ''retail drive''
how scary could WalMart be?
white food on steroids

space-time

Chunnel to Brussel
quicker than crossing London
Europe is shrinking

don't look now

Stopped at a red light
my mirror reprimands me
unsightly nose-hair

nightmare

Unsightly nose-hairs
tips mingle with my mustache
roots in my mid-brain

unburdened

Landing in Oakland
I find I've been enlightened
bags went to Burbank

Involuntary

Gaze into her eyes
grin like a love-smitten fool
divert your blood-flow

Rumsfeld rules

clog their ears and minds
tell the voters what to think
use them like puppets

vermin

At phoenix airport
sparrows sweep the boarding gates
they're cuter than rats

make lemonade

Beautiful day here
Storms from Alaska tonight
10 feet snow likely!

baaad sheep!

Drive 90 minutes
Pay $200. Line up fools.
Legoland? Queueland.

communing

Three days backcountry
a cellular hiatus
only calls from birds

buried

Message avalanche!
While Colorado -has- snow,
we're Barry-ed in texts ;)

standards

Letter home from school
All 5 k teachers sign, starts
"we really enjoied"
:(

goat cult

Pit. Beast. Rocks. Grass skirt.
Barry reinvents himself.
Oh! Luau master.

disingenuous

So why exactly
Is wise gee-dub figuring
We sell explosives?

the medium is the medium

Flying good at hull?
Beautiful Berkeley weekend
My haiku is lame

linked in

I have a new phone
My new plan allows haiku
Fire 'em away

palace coup

Deploy the "experts"
teach those voters what to want
Rumsfeld's in charge here

Pentagon Propaganda

Co-opt the experts
whip those voters into line
teach them what to want

spirit quest

Integrating life
moving in four planes at once
a whole lifetime's task

how quaint

Protected free speech
presumption of privacy
Dick sneers at such faith

Contra Costa

Ticks and poison oak
claim this county as their own
I'm just passing through

propaganda

The hand-carried torch
links Beijing to Olympus
and Hu to Hitler

it's the journey

Each mountain summit
a worthy pilgrimage site
and a jumping-off

Quo bono

If Bush were bumped off
and Cheney, and Pelosi. . .
who's for Robert Byrd?

realization

don harness and wing
live Leonardo's old dream
step into the sky

04-09-08 3560 Msl

At last, tam put out
Vlad phoned me out of the blue
don't ask why, just go

that Spring stirring

strangely insistent
formication rouses me
a tick climbs my leg

Ardor

Flames lick the bushes
all around the Caldecott
hot and dangerous

cellulase

Commensal fungi
let cattle use cellulose
setting carbon free

rejoice

Scatter to the winds
sing hymns to the mother-ship
frolic on the breeze

din

Throbbing walls of noise
evoke a vision of hell
or a Vegas bar

misplaced loyalty

Mukasey Blusters:
security is at stake!
Whose security?

distortion

Turn 'mic gain' too high
god-awful squalking noises
blot out human speech
