i told rafael i will write a poem
about how miltos chose art
instead of a giros restaurant chain
but then i felt bad about making fun
of miltos’ horrible life choices
and decided not to write that poem

i want twenty kids
i want one kid
i want a life partner without kids
i want a partner sometimes
i only want friends
i want to be alone
i do not want to live

if god wants us
to transform ourselves
into higher beings
by making conscious choices
which ignore our animalistic drives
why would god gives us
a super specific idiot-proof
text manual for that?

one of the better ways
to make others wiser
is to make fun
of their wrong choices.

most will get very upset
but some will change.
do not expect a thank you.

poetry
is an exploration of
how words change
the universe.

i can write a word
which is read by many
giving them an idea
which choices to make.

these choices
eventually add up
enough to start changing
the universe.

every person
has a number of political choices
and in a political duopoly
two parties will divide
all these choices
between them
creating
two highly hateful groups.

this kind of bullshit
will keep on going
with every new choice
for thousands of years
because these two parties
will never allow
any change.
