    Haikus: Poetry for the Dying Man

    by Ric and Sam


      Ric and I work in a large office.
      We both believe it is driving us crazy
      To pass the time, and try to retain our souls,
      We took a hint from the Movie Fight club
      Below (reversed for your ease) is one of many strings of Haiku’s

      Back in this drab place.
      Malaise saps mind’s life away.
      Like a dull cramp’s ache.

      I’m inside the heart
      flowing computer through me
      man becomes machine

      Mind melds with machine’s
      steady hum of whirring parts.
      too many restarts.

      cube within a cube within
      small parts repeated

      New barriers are not
      seen, heard but felt silently.
      Are they closing in?

      Calls and no answers.
      Abrasive swirling voices raise.
      Fury ebbs and swells.

      Spirit sucking screen.
      Life sapping fluorescent lights.
      Smiles make my face ache.

      Carrot on a string.
      One step ahead, then one
      more. One more step, then…

      stick a fork in me I’m done
