Points across the sky.

Why are we fascinated?

Long long way from here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jokers in the wild.

Kings, queens and country bumpkins.

*Royals are noted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting to my goal,

Sometimes I take too-wide strides.

Big step reaching there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trump[ITEs] on the rise.

Watch the way things are going;

Darn them! — save us all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Small is advantage.

Numbers make us predators;

Weakness make us prey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fashion is a thing.

I like gals in red dresses,

With guys cool in blue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I am ‘mad-tired’,

Then I do it Tanka-style:

5, 7, 5–7, 7.

All the while, for half a mile…

In my head — without Google!
