5 minute poem
I watched a man smacking his gum on a crowded train.
I got annoyed.
I watched for several minutes and it seemed that the gum was alive and that he was trying, quite violently, to kill it.
I glanced at other passengers but no one had noticed.
The gum was clearly not dead yet.
I decided not to be annoyed anymore.

5 minute poem
“Oh dear me,
how dull it is to discuss things
with minds devoted to the
obvious.”
-AYN RAND, the fountainhead
First love
I fell in love with him in a sleeping bag
with my shoes on
under a dark sky.
I was in love with him for many years
after that
and many years
after that.
Then I wasn’t really in love
with him anymore.

i am nearly half your age but
we were probably born
of the same
womb
