haiku december two

change is a-coming

'cause it's always a-coming

i'm pretty ready

. . . [12/10/23]

. . .

there's always something

you can count on that for sure

how will you react

. . . [12/10/23]

. . .

it's all reaction

more and more it seems it's true

how will i react

..............[you]

. . . [12/10/23]

. . .

response is better

reaction is less thoughtful

how will i respond

..............[you]

. . . [12/10/23]

. . .

he's worse than before

i found that out last night, wow

i'm not in the know

. . . [12/11/23]

. . .

in this quiet, sit

just sit and see what comes in

maybe really - up

. . . [12/11/23]

. . .

in this quiet, sit

sit with what comes in and up

this is you being

. . . [12/11/23]

. . .

i just want to sleep now.

i heard me, “that would be good,”

to do something else

. . . [12/11/23]

. . .

the heater's rat'ling

it's a bit cold so it's on

fear a high bill though

. . . [12/12/23]

. . .

they say he's way worse

after what seemed - way better

what will this time bring

. . . [12/12/23]

. . .

i don't need to know

i don't need to know what's next

i can just sit here

. . . [12/13/23]

. . .

the next move will come

i try to give it all space

i don't want to rush

. . . [12/13/23]

. . .

i'll start with a breath

and because of a practice,

i do this most times

. . . [12/13/23]

. . .

without a practice

i think i'd rush ev'rything

i have this practice

. . . [12/13/23]

. . .

i didn't used to

but with it all is better

or so i think so

. . . [12/13/23]

. . .

can i speak to you

who are you talking to now

not sure, i just asked

. . . [12/13/23]

. . .

practicing awe now

i'm prone to awe anyway

more deliberate now

. . . [12/13/23]

. . .

it's cold, pretty cold

cold is hard without money

how do we do this

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

we've made life so hard

i'm sure it's always been hard

our own types of hard

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

that we're alive - true

or so it seems - so we do

and what we do - live

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

how you live and i

[how i live and you]

we do these things and those things

we can't really stop

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

but we can stop, see

or at least stop in this way

but we're taught we can't

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

but it's all made up

we can do what we want when

but that's not quite true

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

but they tell us no

i think everyone says no

except some who don't

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

it's a "funny" rule

set because many would go

and peeps don't want that

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

i wouldn't do it

i already tried and "failed"

i just think it's wild

.......................[weird]

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

that we're told we can't

when we aboslutely can

funny "rule" is all

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

if it were ok

what a diff'rent world this be

to add in that choice

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

this year is ending

hard to believe, 'twenty three

it all keeps going

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

i'll make an egg - lunch

i'll get dressed then go - for work

i'll do this day - yup

. . . [12/14/23]

. . .

awe on a friday

what will be the first thing picked

how about the wind

. . . [12/15/23]

. . .

don't get stuck or caught

one person's stuck is not yours

you can both move on

. . . [12/15/23]

. . .

the wind fast and slow

brings me wild awe and fear

i'll just sit with it

. . . [12/15/23]

. . .

languages - there's awe

'round 7,000 - come on!

how awesome is that

. . . [12/16/23]

. . .

. . .

this is the time i'm in, and i'm sort of struck by it. the choices. the little things. the big things. i'm in no rush but i sort of am. i'm pulling myself back to pay attention. how do you live - any tips? i'm sort of facinated by it all - which i think is also a coping mechanism, but mabye what isn't.

thanks for reading! i hope you're well - kory
