Unrequited Love

Stop in /
write a morose poem /
leave / if only
life were that easy

Widow's Lament

It's not quite cold enough
to go borrow some firewood
from the neighbors.

Japanese Women

If there are any unattractive
Japanese women
they must drown them at birth.

It's strange how the simple things in life go on while we become more difficult.

I don't want my daughter to be educated. I think women should just be decorative.

It's Raining In Love

I don't know what it is,
but I distrust myself
when I start to like a girl
a lot.

At the California Institute of Technology

I don't care how God-damn smart
these guys are:     I'm bored.

15%

she tries to get things
out of men
that she can't get
because she's not
15% prettier

Just Because

Just because
people love your mind,
doesn't mean they
have to have
your body,
too.
