«I guess we’re not #late then,» Antin said.

Stuck in a waiting room
staring at four walls
just waiting eternally
for my name to be called
music in the background
to soften the pain
another person gets called
but it’s not my name
grinding my teeth
looking at the clock
I think it’s my turn
but then it’s not

Dear Anne, this is #NotMine & #NotAPoem let alone haiku. But whenever I see/hear this word, I’m reminded of an age-old ditty:
🎵“My wife left town with a banana. He had a lot of appeal.”🎵

It doesn’t insist on a shoreline.
It doesn’t confuse possibility with promise.
It stays available.

I wrote more things about you.
Whenever I actually sing, it's about you.
I'm still stuck with you at the heart of it all, the heart of me.
I'm sorry, that intensity must be sad or scary
Don't mean to obsess.
It's just I gave you my best -
And I don't know
How to let you go.

Paradox of Me - Epiphany
I resist asymmetrical compression
because I know how real it is.
But I may also recreate compression internally
by constantly calculating.
The market isn’t always live.
Sometimes the room is just a room.
But my nervous system
may still be trading.

“If I don’t like
The deal I made
I’ll bomb kids on bikes
And Iran will close the Strait!”
“Brilliant, sir!
You’re a mastermind!
But let’s ask Miller
If you’re being too kind.” 😐

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday at the G7 conference that the U.S. will “go right back to dropping bombs” if he doesn’t like the Iran deal.

Loneliness doesn’t always look like sadness.
Often it looks like over-articulation of meaning.
Some of us locate ourselves through contact.
In a world that extracts first, that’s hard... rare, even, and it also gives the connections that do happen more gravity.
Force with consequence.

It's most probably for the best
For all involved
And for those, otherwise
Yet the countless multitude that has not even the chance to gravitate?

So, what are we selling today.
Oh. Yourself?
Thats quite OK. I already have a slightly more convenient version in my mind.
Thank you, though.
Keep selling.
Don't give up.
You will find someone willing to buy if you also buy enough, eventually.

Let’s get this Strait:
“Hormuz is open!” 😃
