Scuttlebutt: Haiku Vignettes

So many questions:
Machiavellian thoughts
Hide answers away.

Padlocked clarity,
Practiced insincerity:
A lie that's told twice.

A blind man's foresight
Precious liminality
Bridges possible.

Riddles, reasons, why
Truth's the best established lie
A game lacking rules.

Sunscreen kills a tan
Ev'ry ground is sinking sand;
Pleasure kills a man.

Too many questions
Answers lie just within reach
But fear shortens arms.

Too many answers
Make living a fearful chore
Too little comfort.

Armchair sanity
A middle both round and soft
Our aspiration.

With such lofty goals
Hands doomed to tremble, reach short
It's said life's a beach.
