Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Wednesday, 2025.04.23 
"Fast is slow. Slow is fast." Watch your fields of fire, pick your targets, aim
center mass, squeeze the trigger. The faster you go, the more mistakes you make.
The more mistakes you make, the deeper in the shit you will be. Go slow. Try not
to make mistakes. Be one with the battle yet transcend it. Float above the
action, survey the scene, target immediate threats, and dispatch them with
ruthless efficiency.

Watching the stars, shine.
Warm Summer evening air, still.
Dog wants to play, NOW!

This, a pristine tear
Made for a cheek, blushed and raw
To find a way home.

Brilliant rays shine
Summer solstice marks the shift
Cold wind bites my cheek

Fierce and ferocious,
The sky pummels a thirsty road.
Flowers bloom with thanks.

Thunderous hacking.
Scary monsters in my nose.
This virus owns me.

Noise of the city
Congestion from this Spring cold
Echo each other

Spry chickadees chirp.
Morning frost and crisp Spring air.
A new day begins.

Sweeping second hand
Marks the time
And not the tempo

A match is lit.
Passionate flash.
Steady flame.

The dog and her bone
Echoes
The bird at the feeder.

Friend and foe.
Fiend and fair.
One becomes the other.

A stream flowing down a mountain.
A bloggers finger’s on a keyboard.
Gentle babbling.

Taunting sock puppets.
Fulfilling vilification.
Did you not see the frog?

Raging news feeds.
Stepping in,
I still know nothing.

Tracks in the log file.
Left by machines
Driven by minds.
