Buddhist Temples

I’m not a Buddhist
but I like Buddhist architecture
like the way the temples look
pity I’ll never get to visit one

Talking to Trees

She went temporarily insane at age 23
after her boyfriend left her for another woman
people saw her talking to trees like a madwoman
but the solace of the trees eventually restored her sanity

The Good Kid

He was a good kid who wanted to be a plumber
until he got involved with some delinquents
shot a person to death in a botched robbery
now the good kid turned murderer rots in prison

Procreation

Everything procreates, ever notice that
I think that’s the reason for romantic love,
procreation despite the gushing about it
making babies and nothing more

A Missed Romantic Opportunity

When he came home after 4 years being away
he learned Denise had had a crush on him
four years too late after she had married
oh how he regretted that missed opportunity

An Ex-Wife in the Afterlife

I have an ex-wife in the afterlife
who was an exceptionally good person
but left me home alone far too much
maybe things will be different in the afterlife
