In stillness we need not strive for more
as its wind embraces in warm whisper
The past doesn’t whimper, future doesn’t roar
Thoughts may blur, while emotions feel crisper

Into stillness we’re gladly brought
it’s a place where we may be taught

Crashing pizza delivery drone
hits customer with nose on smart phone

such is the pedagogy
of ‘talking’ by emoji

Got a taste of drone by AI flown

Folk utan vatten å mat
vimlande vandaler
djupare rasistiskt hat
anses ej skandaler

inte hellre vår miljö
i stundande kollaps
Slå dej ner, låt oss förströ
tid nu för en till snaps

Nej, inte ger vi i barnen fan
men just nu roar vi oss på stan!

Crisp days freshly dawn
hold hope of Perfection
But by dusk forlorn
faded in dejection

Takes guts & strength of mind
never just by fingers’ snap
Sounds like same failing grind
as Bliss doesn’t sit on our lap

If we expect Bliss to be achieved
by just staying in the slipstream
we’re allowing us to be deceived
by a fake American Dream:

we’re we feel entitled to score
while contributing less, not more

Jo, va då gärna hemkär
så länge ej försoffade!
Ty i rutin sedentär
av fräscha känslor roffade

Rör vi på oss bara smått
samt fyller upp var kind
när äter ofta å gott
svårt att hindra bli trind?

I tålamod tunt
på ett flertal skärmar
kollar mest grunt strunt
där kändisar svärmar

Kliver med möda in i bilen
väl nedsjunkta bakom ratten
kör för sakta i ytterfilen?
Vår färd en alltmer tafatt en

Får undra, jajamän
vart kan det bära hän?

Så att vi oss ej förvilla
på livets branta, krokiga stig:
Träd försiktigt, lugnt å stilla
så vi kan urskilja slagg från slig

Försök förbli stillsam
bland bullrande berusning
ty när man blir villsam
tynar tillvarons tjusning

För vem vill sej själv försnilla
å egna livet förspilla?

Obstinacy & Aging
leave us two married companions
with our hangups engaging
yelling as if across canyons

Our perpetual dances
slowed by unyielding stances

Our ingrained character flaws
refuse to step aside
so as result or cause
leave us worn, bleary-eyed

With Obstinacy one might attempt engage
while with Aging can merely watch its rampage

Advertised on blogs:
“These pass muster!”
about some hot dogs
“Pass the mustard!”

Maybe hot dogs look good
given a cursory glance
from where we had first stood
but if looked again, askance:

How & with what are hot dogs made
but poor mistreated animal parts?
The question we evade, dismayed:
How did they end up so cold, our hearts?

But don’t ask, just chomp, don’t tell!
If tastes good, ain’t then all well?

I vind svag, hänger slakt
nu nationens flagg
ej beslutsamt å rakt
men i ömkligt agg

Numera krumryggade
rent av småaktiga
tror vi oss betryggade
när blott dåraktiga

Inte kan vi vänta oss beröm
när gav upp alliansfrihet
när slukades i NATOs malström
valde vi visst ansvarsfrihet

Nation förr oavhängig
kämpande stadigt för världsfred
nu beklämmande klängig
inbillar sej lämnad i fred

Knows a Seattle pluviophile
how its drizzle used to beguile
But by now it has gone in exile
instead downpours just once a while

Memories longingly linger tender
of the long gone drizzle’s subtle splendor
