Haiku U #10

Department of Termination

They are ready when you are,
Immortality has it's limits,

Health Care for all Americans?
Immorality has it's defenders,

Super-sized or shrink-wrapped,
No condition is permanent,

Heaven and hell are not a place,
But a state of mind.

Haiku U #9

It's Hot Up In Here

The inconvenient truth,
It's 99 degrees in the shade,

Swamp gave way to concrete tar machine,
Sun beats down hurricanes whiplash,

Precious blue gold aqua-marine,
Who will provide when times get lean,

Parched Everglades visions of vertical farms,
A slippy-slide to keep alive,

Ventilate, Hydrate.

Haiku U #8

No Japanese Word for Privacy



One ringy dingy,
Wire-tapping data mining,

Orwellian paparazzi,
Docu-drama dosier society,

GPS predator drones above,
Total information snooping below,

Is home your castle,
ID chips for kids.

Haiku U #7

Big in Beijing

Raise the woof off da mutha...

Contenders defenders converge,
Make proud Greek dogs,

We are not giants,
They are not an empty suit,

Go for the gold,
2008 Olympics, ya'll.

Haiku U #6

I Read a Book Once

Gutenberg the poser,
Gathers dust,

Indelible Darwin,
Cultures of Orality,

Literacy over-rated.
Bibles recycled.

*

Haiku U #5

Irony of Square



Whirling Euclidean Mecca-nations,
Stir wars for civilizations,

Tides of blue gold behold,
Give rise weeping monolith,

Materialism versus Spirituality,
Mosh pit brotherhoods collide.

.

Haiku U #4

Relax, it's Only Anthrax.

One Lone Nut,
Ride 911 Tsunami Fear,



Iron Chariots Rust with Lust,
Unseen Cargo of Carnage,



Don Tin-Foil Helmet,
Cold Case Closed.

*

Haiku U #3

There Will Be Oil, for Eye 95

With promise of mobility,
Oil-men rolled out the Lexus-lanes.

Walk on road of blood,
Go from here to nowhere.

Make light of flying squirrels,

Return the road to dirt of earth.

*

Haiku U #2

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Ashes of aryan halcyon,
Walls pummeled to rubble.

A polarized people,
who have forgotten.

camp victory, baghdad
