ideas that are alone
get very sad and stupid
because they have
no other ideas to
play or fight with

there is no doubt
that women are
much smarter than us,
but it is very sad
that they give up on us
and just let us be stupid
forever.

i wish i loved my kids so much
to treat them badly
so they would love me less
and be less sad when i die

sometimes i meet people
who are fully dedicated to something
yet they are completely useless.
i hope i am not one of them.

i am not a chelsea fan
but i was a bit sad
when i saw an old photo
of the samford bridge

i do not want to sound
like a sad loser
but complaining about the world
is a decent way
to numb the personal struggle with mortality

i was watching
a jean-paul belmondo
youtube video le professionnel
and it made me very sad
because it reminded me
of my father, his life, and the things he liked.

at the same time
i was in a weeks long discussion
with a friend
about what is feminine.

i asked her
if sadness is feminine
because she knows this
better than me.

because
if sadness is feminine
then watching a jean-paul belmondo video
is very feminine.

saturday was
a very sad day for me
because it was
the last weekend
of the season.

all the snow was melting
and it felt
like the entire world
was ending.

luckily, on sunday
new snow fell
and everything
was fine again.

today on linkedin i saw
that milton glaser’s
brooklyn brew logo
was simplified
and it made me sad
that there are people
who destroy art

artists are leveled
by what happens
when they die:

level one – millions are sad.
level two – thousands are happy.
level three – hundreds are sad.
level four – no one cares.

i saw a huge wasp
in my office
and i had to kill it.
i squeezed it with a piece
of toilet paper
and i heard and felt
its body crush and crack.
i did not feel good about it
but it had to be done.
bummer.

i am both
happy and sad
that i never went to war
and killed hundreds

my youngest son was in the hospital
and my girlfriend was with him.
my other kids were with their dad
so i was alone at home
and it was a bit sad and boring.

but then i invented
an onion and melted camembert on rye sandwich!
