i've taken to writing haikus about my job and the recent changes and b.s. that's going on around "these parts." they're actually helping me to deal with my "still being here."

Ritualistic

day in day out, it
never seems to change, how odd
that this is my life.

Confined

Cubicles were meant
to hold the insane. I’m not
crazy folks, not yet.

Fueled fire

it’s New Year’s Eve, and
where am I? At work, of course,
slaving for the man.

Indifference

Trapped, corporate world slaves
on a new plantation, this
almost makes me cry.

Almost lunchtime

It’s nearly lunchtime,
most of the day is gone, and
I can’t wait to leave.

Suspicion

Curious are the
trees swaying leafless to and
fro, questioning me.

correcting errors
for the same mistakes could be
the death of me, *groans*

one thing is certain,
my job is secure, because
no one seems to learn.

New Era

I am quite obsessed
With diverse caps for my dome
I'm stylin on you


Venus

Hard to understand
Why those heavenly bodies
Disrupt my orbit

financial complaints

it's friday again,
i worked overtime to get
nothing but pennies.


the savior

another weekend's
here to pull me from the tight
grip of work's sharp fangs.

this reminds me of when,

Sun makes a smile that spreads sky’s width

Sprinkling dangling colours and

Angling them aptly where

The world will notice and thank Him,

Leaves my brooding to meander

And go over the mountain

Where Sun took the whole day to arrive, only to hide...

But he’s alright, he’s not angry, merely

Dancing with Sky, romancing her to night,

placing on her breast diamond moods that rightly alter sight...



I "saw" this after i came 4rm wrk though,
no matter how much they glorify it as a struggle
this "grind" just aint worth it....

pictures like this in my mind keep me focused on what's true...
i like that...

*Thank u*

affair

sought out someone else,
because i've grown tired of
struggling with you.

set me free

this life, keeps me chained.
i want so badly to leave,
you won't let me go.

statement death snow sway
paper flow no family calls
we bear love sin nurse

strained 2 usher life
mountians of polar caps kiss
peace slides watery heart

it's thawing fires
comfort care throw another
round of goats milk rest

at last the toxic
water consumes gift of g-d's
pain beat box stop talk

you "haiku" rather well.

don't you feel it coming how where?
nature will carry

hey your good but you ain't that good
touching strokes as finger tips glide across wanding path
catch a laugh and let go the stress

peace it's me!

Disappointed

Interviewing for life,
I’m back to the drawing board,

**Hope**
God, I hope to be
A vessel for your glory
Even when I sin

**Imperfection**
I do fall often
Though my flesh, dense with leaven
Allows me to rise

**Hope (part 2)**
Maybe, after all
The blind night will free the sky
Now my heart sees dawn

**Faith**
Faith is breathing air
Unseen, and yet known as fact
So take a deep breath

WHITE MAN, I CARES NOT
YOU ARE NO KING OVER ME
JUST GIVE ME MY CHECK

But all jokes aside
I'm what's hot in the aisles
What's up with my raise

dude, and i had THE worst day today at work... *sighs*

a new kind of down...

Haikus are jewels if written with exceptional thought and youve showed that.

no respect sit down
vapors cause armpit stains dirt
thrown sustain crown jam

don't look find wisdom
elephant trunks jungle load
unload baby head

first delivery- use skills to see the seen
and become empty to draw lines around phantom atoms!

TE-TE
The End - To Everybody

If my memory serves me correctly, your writing has "always" been therapeutic -- to the reader -- as well as for yourself -- ;)

From what I can see, you've mastered the art of haikus with wit, wisdom & humor -- and I appreciate that!


*Carry On*


P.S. Hopefully things will get better @ work ...

behind wilt flowers
sunlight shows shadows 2
dark 2 see stand up

haven't seen you around but every now and then i catch
a glimpse of natures best assets

pull down the curtains next time if you don't want 2 be
caught

miss you
well halfway true
i miss what you do for the boards
it's like a 100 year old birthday
for a man who can't blow

hope to bump into you later
over and out!
peace one love

Te-Te

oh yeah did you catch my videos
on myspace before i deleted them
if not pinch your tits and wake the fuck up

You're a sweetheart freedom -- :* -- But no, I didn't see your deleted myspace videos ...


*Tits Pinched* -- I'm awake now! -- :9

i've gotta interview on monday and another meeting with another facility. so, i may have something new to write about later :)

start living...

I took a day off
For that Verizon FIOS
Hooky On Demand

where it came money
children picking earth's ice dose
outfitted hip hop

most 2 lazy
mountians peaks 2 punches
no time 2 clock couch

i can't speak no job
volcano's preparing leaps
bond cutting down tree

cure 2 jealousy
going against nature rape
we it's just me free

employee at will
iron mine why can't i find
a temple 2 rest

2 bless 2 go 2
church my own ambitions comes
first unhog tie thirst

brick and mortar stores
are not as fast as downloads
bye, record store job...

only 4 minutes
seasonal time off return
desk pack up retired

no C.P.R
air hard compressing liver
bottom of bag rush

found still intact dust
off bee's stinger line up TB
cough tele floor nurse

back in action again
who let the devil in hell
is only 4 saints

get out and slam the door behind you because i'm smoking!

TE-TE

hooked real pull give slack
earth expell all one needs birth pang

how many grains sand dooms blocks
water tracks then leap in
