Asylum

[Artguy]

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

[stilltrucking]

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

[Artguy]

Barricaded insanely
Psychotherapy and ping pong
Like a guy once said

[stilltrucking]

back to the wall
hands clenched
a mouth full of blood

[stilltrucking]

Sturm und Drang
my raging mind
centered not

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

[Artguy]

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

[still.trucking]

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

[Artguy]

Asylum from fear
Crazy spinning mind
Sit and breath

[still.trucking]

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

[Artguy]

Canonize St. Jack
Rise up Dalai Lama
Beatify the beat

[stilltrucking]

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"

[short timer]

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

[jackofnightmares]

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

[junliar]

On this side of here
Not that side of there

[stilltrucking]

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
