against what I know
your hair and clothes
the way you talk
how your body walks
even when I need to stop
I #measure you
writing invisible stories
composing little poems
looking for a home
where I can be myself
or stay protected
I think it could be great
but I see you measure me
eyes downward

Stardate 3245, Captain's Log
I composed a haiku while stepping away from the party on C-deck.
check your star charts
don't get sidelined after hours
remember your job
It only reflects how I'm supposed to feel, so I don't like it. Really, I feel closer to Anne than expected, glad she's on board.

scattered gravel and dust
leads past shoots of green pine
where autumn-yellow aspen mingle
she leads us away from the lake
my seat belt holding me fast
"push" it says in red
ahead a sign warns of an intersection
I dare not imagine what lies beyond
I do not "push"
we continue on
to her future

Went in blind, with no expectations, assuming horror. It might be one of those "you have to watch twice" movies to get what's happening, or at the least, feel confident in your interpretation.
Final review: Semi-thriller, cerebral. Liked. Great acting, storytelling, cinematography.

gone, the empty hearse
body buried, left behind
you're in black, alone
do not think of Spring
its touch of warmth, our flowers

Today, I stayed at home.
I ignored the emails and phone calls that littered my notification bar and
blew $724 on Legos.
Pretending to be a wealthy recluse went well, though managing my instinctual/habitual physiological response was hardest - my stomach burned for two hours.

beyond the interstate
over gravel roads, some only dirt
the village looms alone
ol' Shamus waits for sunrise
he didn't drink at all last night
instead he begged before the door
of Johnny's corner store
that opens round 'bout 7
Johnny lives alone, you see
soon his home, he'll leave

when work returns hard
with shallow words, hollow sighs
pause, remember this
cars pass smooth, it’s dark
your clouds of breath fade and fall
all devices off

your lack of skills
acquaintances promoted
far too soon to friends
a future dreamed
leagues beyond the possible
false entitlement justifying
disdain for daily work
the world refused, #unseen
spins before your eyes
waiting for your pain
for acceptance
payment
before the treasure's found

hovering
near a tray of brisket
navigating an important tradeoff
socially acceptable
vs
overwhelming hunger
desire
for satisfaction
triggered by the smokey, salty, fatty
smell and sheen
of partially rendered fat
the others turn
distracted
he attacks
the tray empties
warn the dessert

how do you feel?
the riddle posed by friend and foe
it tempts the lone to overshare
but clatters down upon the ground
and "fine" is all they'll get
Pandora's box might open fair
upon the clinic's #leather chair
but money's tight, and we're alright
instead we'll scroll awhile

planet to planet
body to body
hunger for the next adventure
sometimes came too early
"permission to convey"
the radio did not respond
"host acquired at 50 cycles now 79"
static continued
"chaos achieved please confirm"
then commander spoke
"denied, reduce Earth to #ash"
its host smiled wide

sometimes
the outside crush
the stifling, dAngerous fear
of strangers' problems
so close
but uncontrollable
become a shielD for guilt
logical justification
to sit there
with raw, hungry #power
Hidden behind
another welcome distraction
from the shame
of wasteD potential
I'll start
tomorrow
