I've called this a haiku while not sticking stringently to the idea behind the form. It is rather a simplistic version of the ideal construction. There are no references to seasons and change, no initial statement followed by a conclusion. It is rather a statement in itself written in 5-7-5, which is about as loose a connection as you can get from the original Japanese. I simply enjoyed the restrictions of the English syllabic count, which can focus the mind and produce, in just a few lines, all you would like to say in a longer more elaborate poem. This is the short, sharp shock of truth, furnished with opinion and doubt. Hope you like it.
Haiku
The great binary
anomaly within the
grand computation.
