Playa Haikus

Spork on dragon bus
tribe stompin beatbox madness

holy solid dust wall
i think a cow just flew by
hope our dome stays up

tiny dreadlock girl
knees rocker guy in the spine
fuck yeah Thunderdome

Old guy's eyes ask me:
"would you like a creepy hug?"
No thanks dude, I'm good.

dust in my blister
funky fractal beats dont care
cant stop til its done

chai tea and grilled cheese

sunday sunrise joy

fresh flamethrower s'mores
mallow heats so evenly
the perfect breakfast

I'm going to break the haiku form just because I want to:

yes you know me
blake had it about right
i am in you and you in me
mutual in love divine

I am the playa mind
when we met i fell into a deep pool
you handed me a rope
I grabbed a hold
and together we pulled down the stars

be honest
it was not love that you felt
when your girl grabbed me
and pulled me along
I let you both go into the night.
it did not feel right.
something was wrong.
you spoke of love for me when something else
was in your heart

When I saw you the next night
I came up to you to say hi
to ask you about yourself and your girl
again you tried add a false patina of community
of love

Everything changed when I asked for honesty
and told you that awareness is enough
you don't even have to like me
awareness is enough
for a moment we saw each other
inside and out of the game at the same time

I looked for you
My heart ached for you
When I finally found you
Late in the week

I saw that
your experience was yours,
different from mine

My camp was different,
with no name,
I am
here only to give of what I always am

so far gone
no turning back


The show is nothing compared
to the fire in my heart
you've tasted of it

I ache for you
I know you ache for me
magnets and metal filings
moths to a flame

Last night I held strong
in the place of wanting you
When I did,
I saw that we are inside of each other.

Something opened up.
a space in eternity, beyond
all this waking and dreaming.

We are already there.
It takes time even for starlight to travel.
What is real grows in the desert of the heart
where nothing else grows.

I know I will grow on you.
Bless you.

red cans in cooler
containing mexican piss
sick of tecate

can i have some booze?
no, i don't have my own cup.
i am entitled.

"i love everyone,
this is a utopia!"
newbies are so cute.

man is on fire!
i have to take a big shit.
ecstasy is fun!

the base gets bigger
and the man keeps on shrinking
put him on the ground!

I sailed in white dust
a fool's ship tiller'd drunken.
I wrecked my boat hat.
