so
there i was;
straight out of nothing to do
straight out of nowhere to go
straight into a big nothing to see
no one here but me
so
here i am;
no significant play to know
no articulate way to show
no particular place to go
AND - - I'M - - STILL - - HERE!
so
anyway;
nothing even mildly earth shattering here
nothing here but media fed fear
nothing to do but stand and leer
i....am....so....outa....here
so
that laugh;
that noise you make in your throat
that pause you take when you vote
that face you fake for a poke
i’m going over there - - - >

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

The Great Uncoupling of 2229
“I realize there are still aspects of humanity that my kind cannot understand or appreciate….” The soft, airy voice resonating from the orb that trailed Teyhx through the hallway of her dorm pleaded with her to see reason. Though, ultimately, the decision was not hers anyways.
