Especially since, friends,
it is not as if
I would become a garden someday!
So kindly desist from giving me
advances for making statues;
I had earth
of gods and goddesses;
objects of affection and reverence.
But I thought that for me
Therefore,
that land has been sold.
Have not you seen?
At the same place
I do agree that
or for that matter in gardening.
But you just might get two tight whacks
if you raise the matter of the statues.
Therefore, friends!
If you have to say something,
then let’s talk about the earth,
about the tears that have been shed,
and offer each other lovely platitudes
about the beauty of the earth.
Tears matter,
till the time they inhabit
the universe of the eyes.
Why search for them in the dust
after they drop?
I don’t say that this earth is pretty
after seeing your idiotic gardens;
if I might have,
then the question of the butterflies
could have been raised legitimately.
Hence dear friends!
Let’s face the bland fact
But it will be nice,
if you could come at least once a year,
talk some random jazz,
shed a few wayward tears,
and bitch about the idiocy
