Orange fruits of Kaki

Crank and pendulum
And ticking clocks of time
And a hundred laws that measure how
Each haiku must rhyme

A Half seeing Buddha
and candles lit at night
Orange fruits of Kaki are
Alone that are bright

Untouched is the father
Untouched his possessions
Orange Fruits of Kaki,
Candles and allegations.

Sweeping strokes of waterbrush
And inkblots of colors
Orange fruits of Kaki
And tears for travelers

A Hundred laws of fairness
A hundred laws of sin
Orange red blood that flows
Through every type of skin.

dumb tweets

are dumb tweets poetry? those about comical self deprecation? those about absurdity of lunchtimes the absurdity of predetermined systems the shit that is the economy the shit that is self preservation of social groups and the shit that is my period. aren't these the footsteps of revolutions built upon the personal that is the political a naked lump of clay - the self that has no rights without its body and identifiers. weren't the beats just writing tweets words, that fill up the spaces in empty cultural discourse a space for, a valence towards charged and electric words ionic words words that seem appropriate words in a new absurdist language a torrent, a warm current of intercontinental symbolically void and poisonous words. that live for a small slice like us and cicadas, chirp and die.
