Hangs by a Facebook thread when
Hate gets the most “likes”

Hey, fitness tough guys! What gives?
The bike lane’s empty

Than a CVS receipt
Impressive research

His blender set to “bender”
Wastrel wastes away

In chaotic times
Binge-watching reality
Takes too much bandwidth

Some music hooks you,
Some worms its way in, to catch
A piece of your heart

Microsoft spending
Half-billion on cheap housing;
Will it have windows?

Rulers remind us
It isn’t just painters who
Can lay it on thick

Air as dry as dust
Winter’s trick when all moisture
Has been set adrift

Walls inside ourselves
Hardest ones to breach because
We hide them so well

Fears that divide us
From each other and ourselves
Scariest of all

Fat, fur hold heat, explaining
My hot-headed ways

Soul, definition:
Unique, sacred part of you
No one else can own

Freezing fog and mist
Bracing and mysterious
Perfect life weather

Such fraudulent expressions
Slow, dirty business

Spend time mocking instead of
Making a difference

Found only in dreams means we
Must twice awaken

Reflecting the light
Or generating your own
Beaming is beaming

Hold many answers, but you
Have to keep digging

Find joy in being the first
Care not who follows

Time to restock with kindness,
Calm, truth and caring

Dispenses its crackerjack
2 cents: “Be the change”

Seems fit for only one job:
Mucking his own dung

Dodge, duck, then no luck
We have to take the bullet
In this life someday

Dangers all too plentiful
The year’s work awaits

Or simply the air we breathe
We’re all connected

Only as winners, losers
Have lost their own way

Dark side of the moon — who knew
They were Pink Floyd fans?

Gotta love a twist
Lemon, plot, doughnut, dance floor
But ankle, knife? No

First step, then the next
Sometimes so easy, sometimes
Seems impossible

One ends; one begins
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, years
In and out of time
