"Windshield note"

live your life outside
the lines. Refuse to fit in.
Stick out, undefined.

  1. This is such a wonderful little haiku. Thank you for releasing it out into the world.

  2. Thanks! I love rhymed haiku.

    I wouldn't call it out in the world at this point, though. Not until someone puts it on a note and sticks it under a wiper of a particularly abstractly-parked car.

  3. Is that a challenge? Because I'll do it. I'll also put it on a T-shirt and wear it to a political protest because that's how I roll.

  4. Certainly not! I don't do dares or for that matter, issue challenges to others. Things should be done for no reason or not at all.

    That last bit is just a motto of mine. It's not strictly reasonable.

  5. Really? Because this would have been a challenge I would have gladly taken on (and quite possibly will "for no reason". And that motto is most definitely not reasonable. Isn't there always a reason even if that reason is, "Just because"?

  6. Yes, but just because we can generate arrays of reasons to cite after the fact doesn't mean any of those were reasons it was done.

    "Just because" isn't a reason. It's an incantation - a formula that means we know there isn't one, and we do it anyway. Because we want to.

    Which isn't a reason, either. Just a cause.

  7. OK, I see what you're saying now, and I certainly like the idea of being motivated by no reason at all, especially when it comes to sticking poetry on the windshields of cars in a parking lot. Such things deserve to be taken up for no reason at all.
