Xeno Hemlock

here’s a haiku thread
perhaps one in a million
but I say, “why not?”

bring me fortitude
today and all tomorrows
‘cause drugs are finite

face is picturesque
but mind’s a humdrum desert
this date is over

are your nights lonely?
do you worry ‘bout the cold?
get yourself a cat

want some violence?
go to McDonald’s and buy
fries then punch the fries

you get a new cat
to replace the dead one but
it’s just not the same

steady blue awning
protects me from thunderstorms
but not from sorrow

my last piece of food
to whom does it belong now?
the cat or the man?

what’s in the flour?
by midnight I crave for bread
along with butter

drained by emotions
I retreat into silence
I don’t give a fuck

not one of your goals?
ignore, don’t get distracted
time is golden sand

immortality
not impossible at all
legacies of work
