Joseph Glynn<\/em><\/h4>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

Unwinding<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exhausted from the toils of today<\/span><\/p>\n

Shoes eject from socks, socks eject from toes<\/span><\/p>\n

Grow light as your belongings become disowned<\/span><\/p>\n

Shirt flies, pants sink, underwear spins around the ceiling fan<\/span><\/p>\n

You are finally free, absorbed entirely by your cushioned retreat<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But there you lay, wondering why something still nags<\/span><\/p>\n

Dirt from the day clings; so you rise from your cocoon\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And take off your skin<\/span><\/p>\n

But again, you’re so tight, so why stop there?<\/span><\/p>\n

Unweave all your muscles, pull out all your nerves<\/span><\/p>\n

Stomach empty? Goodbye. Heart heavy? Later dude.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your back, your joints, your bones, clatter away<\/span><\/p>\n

A hail of You crashing on the carpet<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Crammer’s Haiku<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s never enough room<\/span><\/p>\n

For ink kills all the whitespace<\/span><\/p>\n

Where I foresaw The End<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Joseph Glynn<\/strong> graduated in 2025 with a major in computer science and a minor in labor unions and social movements.<\/p>\n
