Haiku 10/24/2018

Quiet time is 10
No need to fucking squeal while
Using the blender

Haiku 10/22/2018

Why make it one page 
When I can just fucking die 
And not be employed 

Haiku 10/21/2018

Sorry your dick is
So goddamn far up Hunter
S. Thompson's asshole

10/19/2018

Most of what I inhaled was manure and then
A strange weed smell
But I could breathe again

Haiku Day 19: 10/18/2018

Despite living with
Depression year round, I find
Fall to be magic

A Writing Process

It only takes one word 
One word for me to build from 
One word to set the tone 
One word to carry its friends through a lyrical journey 
One word to wrap myself up in 
One word tell my story 
One word to make the story 

Unfortunately I don’t have that word today 

Haiku Day 18: 10/16/2018

No haiku today
I am tired and grumpy
Maybe tomorrow

Haiku Day 17: 10/15/2018

Why are you here if 
not to experience this 
For all that it is 


Apps are Made for Hiding

Let's talk about the past
Let's talk about your relationship with your parents
Let's talk about your relationship with your exes
Let's talk about why you broke up
Let's talk about your extended family
Let's talk about why you don't like visiting them
Let's talk about your feelings for women
Let's talk about how those are affected by your feelings toward men, and vice versa
Let's talk about your likes
Let's talk about your dislikes
Let's talk about everything else that makes you who you are
Let's talk about your recent dates and the women you have spoken to
Let's talk about how they match up with what you want
Let's talk about WHAT you want
Let's talk about your job
Let's talk about your dreams
Let's talk about your perfect day
Let's talk about the worst day
Let's talk about me
Let's talk about how much you like me
Let's talk about how much we have in common
Let's talk about what we would do on dates
Let's miss each other when we don't talk
Let's follow each other on social media

Let's never hang out

Haiku (and poem) Day 14: 10/12/2018

I'm getting undressed
Slowly as to take in the
Song before it ends

________________

I've made a habit
Of toying with my lips
While thinking or nervous
Because I saw Bjork
Do it in an interview
So many years ago
We are all combinations
Of what we wish we could be
And now my lips are chapped

Haiku Day 13: 10/11/2018

I went outside and
Was sad the sun was still there
Despite all the rain

Haiku Day 12: 10/10/2018

Yeah, I am still sick
Sniffling, sneezing, and coughing
Gonna go pass out

Haiku Day 11: 10/9/2018

I have a fever
So I have been complaining
For the entire day

Haiku Day 10: 10/8/2018

What are the odds, I
Am no longer surprised by
These disappointments

Haiku Day 9: 10/7/2018

It's disheartening
That my insecurities
Keep me from my truth

Haiku Day 8: 10/6/2018

You forced us down like
So many men have done, but
Now we are mobile

Haiku Day 7: 10/5/2018

The pain you have felt
Is not the same as mine, but
We are connected

Haiku Day 6: 10/4/2018

Left on read again
You don't fucking care for me
But can we hang out?

I am a rainbow
You are all of the bad songs

Haiku(s) Day 5: 10/3/2018

Riding the Metro
Feeling like an open wound
Please don't look at me

________________________

Put my headphones in
I'm gonna cry to Broadcast
And you can't stop me

Haiku(s) Day 4: 10/2/2018

I am so grumpy
All of the fucking time now
Please, please be patient

The way Tempest flows
Into Always Up, makes me
Happy I'm still here

Haiku(s) Day 3: 10/1/2018

Sitting in a Starbucks
Like I do every damn week
I'm still unemployed

Pretty self explanatory.

_________

Dude, you can sit here
And not fucking stare at me
How about that shit

Dudes make me feel unsafe in public places.  Even goddamn Starbucks as I mind my business and apply to jobs.

________

You said "I love you"
While you were inside of me
But I'll still fuck you

This weekend I had sex with someone I've fucked a couple times in the past.  The last time we had sex, he said "I love you" while deep inside me.  I shook it off, of course, because it meant nothing.  But here I am, letting him in again.

Haiku Day 2: 9/30/2018

Summer fucking sucks
But sometimes winter does too 
I am always sad 

I thought I may have reverse seasonal depression, but maybe that's just my default. 

Haiku Day 1: 9/29/2018

Bathroom stall cat love
Fittingly at the Black Cat
Hashtag not all cats 

Inspired by some cat love I saw while drunk in a bathroom stall at the Black Cat.  It said "All cats are beautiful" minus the U.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE SADDDDDD ALL THE TIME AND NOTHING IS WORKING OUT IN YOUR FAVOR?

YOU DRINK.

I need a thing I can do really well that isn't just loving people.
