his emotions became like a tornado
the day he shot his ex wife to death
and shot himself to death as well

A guru in India to make a point to a man with LSD
asked him to give him a triple doze of the hallucinogenic
the potent dose of LSD had no effect on him

and know she eats dog meat

She was born with a perfect body
she never thought it was temporary
until age began to slowly ravage it
now only eroding bones in a grave

The Justice of the Peace couldn’t believe it
at first he refused to marry them on principle
until the groom paid him much more money
and the robot male and robot female said I do

He returns to what he thought was an empty house
hears a sound inside a closet and gets frightened
grabs his gun and shoots his daughter accidentally
who popped out of the closet with a BOO as a joke

of flesh and blood
now an inert skelton
of decaying bones

but nobody knows for sure

After he nearly died from cancer
he got a surprising Zen attitude
an unexpected equanimity
the loss of his fear of death

In his teenage years he was trouble
kicked out of school many times
at age 21 he had a spiritual awakening
and became a monk in India
