i have seen a lot of clouds
since my last clouds poem
written 19 october 2023.
some were isolated,
some were fast,
one looked like a hook,
all were very cool.

if i lived 1000 years i would:
speak 20 languages,
play 5 instruments,
master charcoal drawing,
design and build many houses,
work as a scientist for a century,
start at least 50 businesses,
write 20 books,
write 100,000 poems,
have 40 children,
compete in almost every sport…
you can adopt
all ideologies in five minutes
if you just skip
hating other ideologies
ideologies and religions
allow us
to share perspectives
with billions of people
building our collective.
but they stop being useful
if they are monopolizing
our consciousness
by trying to be more than
just one of many perspectives.
fat and dirty people
enjoy sex more
than clean and fit people.
i tried both
but i could be wrong.
i am 5 kilos overweight
because i choose to
have dinners with my kids
instead of
living a few years longer.
i am not sure but
my kids could be
more fun at dinner tonight
than in 2060.
anyway,
i am managing the risk
with a lot of medicine.
thank you, big pharma!
and i did 5 perfect pull ups
this morning.
