Perfecto

American Haiku Writer - Singer/Guitar Strummer

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

A 5–7–5 poetic structure contemplating American identity, viewing each syllable as a compressed unit of meaning and paradox; with Whiteheadian and Landian influences whereby experience unfolds as a process while registering the accelerating, impersonal forces of contemporary life

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

these slippery slopes
torturous dichotomies
up down up down up

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

capitalist caste
the priesthood of net values
unemployables

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

changing appetite
less for food and more for light
metabolic sight

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

en ti confío
manos que no me toque
mi santa muerte

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

nobody'd do it
there is way too much at stake
or maybe they would

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

with so much to say
i put my foot in my mouth
so i bit it off

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

with noble spirit
I serve the creator God
no other master

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

deep meditation
at the bottom of a lake
forgetting to breathe

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

Protect the children.
No matter what it demands.
This is the one thing.

Anchoring us all.
If we fail at this one thing.
We are lost at sea.

We deserve to sink.
To never be spoken of.
To be forgotten.

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

the sacred duty
a nation thusly deprived
fades into the past

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

it's all perspective
one man's junk DNA is
a mantid's treasure

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

wild west expansion
treasures await you yonder
if you can survive

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

the middle men don't
want middle men any more
than the little man

the big man needs the
middle man to feel bigger
than the little man

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

crystal clear conscience
priceless peace money can't buy
blameless and blissful

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

a decade old dream
forgotten, suddenly known
time and heart stood still

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

goosebumps, head to toe
from deja vu contagion
eyes filled up with tears

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

meridian flows
thousand-petaled lotus blooms
the purest prana

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

@rob_mcrobberson just stop looking in the mirror so much

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

a dollar can't work
humans and machines do work
those with much forget

yet that line will blur
to produce, agents will spend
dollars become fuel

the fire they started
they'll pour gasoline on it
smokestacks seen from space

[Perfecto @PerfectoStrums]

@obrerx I experienced the androgen-like effects most, it became alarmingly easy to hold eye contact haha
