Sometimes It's Good to Be Unhappy and Boring
A Poem To Shadow Brokers
One day, you'll work like a dog.
Anything can happen, but you keep working.
They'll tell you to be a little person.
Because they're jealous of you.
You want to be rich and they want to get their hands on your money.
That's why you change your last name and religion.
That's why being a shadow actor is so good.
No one knows how much money you have.
You'll definitely give a hard time to those who treat you like dogs.
About the Creator
elegy for an unborn daughter
in my dreams, I have a daughter. she has my smile, warm and stretching across her cheeks like it will burst. she has her father’s eyes—soft and gentle—and his laugh. she is perfect. I give her a beautiful name, and she is everything I wish for her to be. she is curious, always asks questions and tries new things and lives without my fear of failure; she is generous, never selfish, but builds firm boundaries; she shows kindness to each soul she meets. I teach her everything my parents taught me. she learns how to read, to escape into a story and to write her own. she learns how to proof a loaf of bread, how to cut butter into flour and dust berries in flour before adding them to batter. she learns how to love, how to be loved. her life is beautiful, free from worry and filled with joy.
