On hold to report
our self-drive car's software glitch,
since eighty miles back.

#FUTURE of #transportation in #cars.

FLEEING FROM THE PAST
#fibonacci
Big
Bang,
it's dubbed,
but the start
of our universe
is more like an un-popped bubble
expanding forever faster and ever faster
fleeing from the only edge time's arrow insists upon and the only edge allowed.

🤡 ⚗️ Another Physics ( #haiku )
lecture in Shakespearean
sonnet form for you.

POE ATTACK
#haiku
The raven, grown still,
says, "Nevermore!" nevermore,
cudgeled with Pallas.

NATURE OF BEING
#haiku ⌛≥🧠
Time passes faster
than neurons can ever grasp.
We view translation.

Pablum AICasso
"Never called an A-hole!"

"UNDIGESTED BIT OF BEEF"
#haiku #EbenezerScrooge
Are all ghosts human?
We don't like to think about
cows haunting our guts.

AUTHENTIC ENTHUSIASM
#haiku
Can't hide excitement.
Celebrity is a mask
Real gains more interest.

"For galactic eons you’ve been the same
yet changing, independent of all form.
Whoever you might think you are is small,
though it takes you outside this planet’s norm --
infinitesimal compared by all
you truly are and all the lives you’ve known."
~ Ray speaks to Zee, upon their engagement.

Carribbean Clean-Up?
#haiku 🌊 ☢️
Devastation drowned,
yet Trump thinks: "... could be the site
for nuclear tests."

DALI AI
#haiku #DaliAI

Time drips from soft clocks,
Ants crawl through the folds of thought—
Eyes awake in paint.

NEW SPECIES named in tribute of murdered Ukranian refugee, Irynas Zarutska: "Irynas Azure Butterfly."

Situationally Dependent
#haiku
Sometimes it’s hard to
see beyond circumstances
that have led you here.

and it loves when you smile back.

Did you know the Vanda orchid has an especially luscious-looking grasshopper lure, especially in UV light, to attract hungry pollinators? Good macro, by the way.

The Big Bang never made a single boom.
Expansion’s not the same as inflation.
The cosmos is not quite like a balloon.
These comparisons need explanation,
or else you convey the wrong perception,
and way off base will be the conception.

PRICKS PARDONED
#haiku
Symbol of beauty,
color, fragrance and softness,
despite thorny stems.

More Than Splash
#haiku
Each word matters here;
meanings may be multiple --
language's deep pool.

SPINELESS IDIOTS
#haiku
Without a backbone,
you can’t have much of a brain;
it just flops around.

Dance By The Light Of The Moon
#haiku
In Western folklore,
full Moon's light caused pregnancy --
gimcrack alibi.

Please post pictures of the show (the animation of the show poster is a nice touch).

Peeling Away The Truth
#haiku
Perhaps Sun-worship
never caught on, since, back then,
there was no sunscreen.

But do you have belly dancing arbutus trees where you live? 🌱

FEEDING THE BASE
#haiku
Blatantly careless,
airing planned horrors unveiled.
Works just to a point.

SECURE COMMUNICATIONS
#Hegseth
First, your Signal leaks,
then the whole system crashes?
May I just say, "AWS!"
