Many people are born

zombis
Some soon turn into
zombis
And most have

Surveillance

Above, beyond the queue
the monitor
displaying every aisle
and every stand
within the store, revealing
all except the slight
shoplifter's sleight-of-hand.

A religion,

culture, or civilisation
that cannot cope with suicide
is fundamentally defective.

Real men don't wave

Time goes forward.

Memory goes backward.

A wet Saturday

I'm considering the rules
of Haiku Tennis.

It never occurred to me before

that sex

tapestry of feelings I had
on those few occasions
when intimacy
was flawless,

then burn up petroleum to cut them.
And we think we're rational.

Each of us

is Allah's
carpet-flaw.


Version for Muslims:

Each of us
is al-Mumit's
carpet-flaw.
