deeper and deeper -
pulled into this labyrinth…
not true nor untrue

sitting in the dark -
half moon shines through a window…
and yes, this soul flies…

dark jeans hug her curves
cell phone crushed in her pocket -
faded impression

army bells jingle
in time with a car alarm -
’tis the season!

Lunch time…
Birthday surprise
…Big blue cake!

these evening hours…
a lonely moon shines above
the dark world below

brutally ugly
genetic mutant bastard,
like lady gaga

OK, there’s much to discuss. First, it stars Jan-Michael Vincent (“Airwolf”, y’all!). Second, it’s directed by Fred Olen Ray, who directed Star Slammer, 13 Erotic Ghosts, and Invisible Mom 2.  He also created gay vampire dramas “Dante’s Cove” and “The Lair” (mystyron = #1 fan).

The first 45 minutes of “Alienator” had us reaching for the FFWD button. I mean, there were some high points, including everything being perfectly reasonable:

Business casual, in space.

…but it was otherwise a lot of glaring and glowering about a space prison. In short, a notorious space criminal (we can tell he’s a space criminal because he has a silver ski vest and matching headband) makes it to Earth, and holes up with some unsuspecting Earthlings in a cabin in the woods. We were mere SECONDS from hitting the Eject button when this vision of love made her first appearance:

I know, right?

Looking like a late-era He-Man action figure, here comes ALIENATOR.

Alienator, or Ziggy Stardust crossed with an auto parts store.

By the way, the tagline for the movie is: “In deep space, the deadliest animal is still woman”.

The metal underpants? The thighs the size of stout German children? It's all too much to bear.

So, who is Alienator? Musclelady Teagan Clive, who is taking up space in the back of your brain as the bodybuilder in David Lee Roth’s video for “California Girls”. There’s not much on her imdb page, except for her biography, which is composed of one sentence. Please, meditate on this:

She made headlines when she showed up for a bodybuilding competition that had been canceled without her realizing it until after she entered the arena.

Everything is built
With the modern man in mind
Everything but trees.

Spooked

leaf, skittering

across midnight blacktop,

startles me to walk faster.

adrenaline’s rush

makes me giggle at myself,

“it’s only a leaf!”

double yellow line -
vultures dining, unmoved
by passing traffic

overcast skyscape
city streets in shades of gray -
black leaves lie still

editorial: A man I dated senior year of college used to send me rocks from different places he had visited randomly and without warning. Once I got one the size of my fist. My mailman was not happy. Neither was I.

Although a writer
Instead mailed rocks to me
What about love notes?

the air’s too heavy
shaking my car like the trees
come on, thunderstorm

hillsides calligraphed
cattle paths overgrown now
no cows anymore

PCWorld gets it:
Underwhelmed By Chrome OS?
That’s Kinda the Point.

Yes, the two parts of the headline are 7 and 5 syllables. Just add a first line, and… instant addition to my collection of Chrome haikus.

Chrome defines a web appliance. I believe there’s a big market for such Chromebooks if they overwhelm in terms of speed and value.

bright colors fading -
subtle earthtones paint the park -
Autumn’s changing look…

A small collection of English language Haiku that I created using “Text-snippets” of different books.
They are Haiku merely in their shape, their number of syllables, they are however not observations of a moment in my life or nature.
Enjoy!

Ghosts are not alike
In contact with the ocean
Cabbage patch Jesus

The lethal weapons
Ran here and there in search of
A tropical rain.

Familiar to
Marlena’s horrified face
The mountain, the blue

The top of the tree
Anarchist friends adopted
Naked universe

Honeyed tunes like
The fluorescent lights like
Church for midnight mass
