Birds do not have hands,
but they seem to live full lives,
without mobile phones.

I paused my writing.
Now, my characters miss me.
… Or they want revenge.

Living on a beach,
if it’s only in my mind,
fits with my budget.

“This game isn’t fun.”
“Sir, you’re in the DMV.”
“What are the cheat codes?”

I have no baggage.
I pre-lost it in advance
to save us both time.

I’m taking a break
to get back to my writing
…both novel and game.

News reports suggest
The Apocalypse is nigh
(a coffee shortage)

A pun about steak?
Now, that’s a rare medium
well-done as haiku.

Voices in my head
tell me all their dark secrets,
so I write them down.

“…and in that moment,
they knew what they had to do.
Stop scrolling online.”

I avoid the news.
When it catches up with me,
let me die surprised!

My new obsession:
finding new, exciting ways
to procrastinate

Social media
makes me question little things
…like humanity.

For those who observe,
may your day be filled with joy.
Those who don’t…you, too.

After the solstice,
when the days begin to stretch,
I cherish the night.

My mid-life crisis
at the age of fifty-nine?
When is my end-life?

I scream at the void,
but it isn’t listening.
Story of my life…

I should be writing,
but I’m swamped with something else
(procrastinating).

End all your statements
“…as the prophecy foretold”
and freak people out.

Eat too much turkey?
Want to avoid relatives?
There’s a nap for that!
