Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

On this side of here
Not that side of there
Stuck in 1st gear

on the other side
of nowhere stuck in ego
a laughing buddha

I liked your haiku a lot
no idea what it was about
but it was good to read
sometimes I get bored with the part of this monkey brain that has to make sense of everything.
and I read a haiku I like
and life is good again

Barricaded insanely
Psychotherapy and ping pong
Like a guy once said

back to the wall
hands clenched
a mouth full of blood

Sturm und Drang
my raging mind
centered not

dam I fell off the edge
of my mind again
turn off the bubble machine

Go to the edge
You can't fall off
There is no edge

cut the tying lies
let my mind drift so blind
something knows I can't fall the edge

I used to believe that
till I met someone who did fall off the edge
I was so frightened

All I could say to him was
oṃ maṇipadme hūṃ
all I have to fear is me

Asylum from fear
Crazy spinning mind
Sit and breath

sit and type and smoke in love
for a crazy spinning world with
compassion for the "meat machine"

Kerouac a virtual suicide
a catholic Buddhist saint
have mercy on me

Canonize St. Jack
Rise up Dalai Lama
Beatify the beat

Arise
surprised
to be alive

"Beginning to think that I'm waistin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind"

usa got the metafiscal blues
we fell off the edge
of a fiscal cliff again

yes I got them
to the seventh power of the seventh solitude
the post apocalyptic blues

how do you make a two year old stop doing anything
she cries for her own sorrows

On this side of here
Not that side of there

outside the asylum
nobody loves me but jesus
inside the asylum it's too dark to read

I have no reason to live
fortunately
there is nothing reasonable about living


these are fortune cookie haiku
that leave me clueless
15 seconds later
I am hungry again
