Asian Lady's Pretty Smile
Misery is the root of happiness
Says the Tao Te Ching
I wander from place to place
My left shoulder
Larger than my right
At least I know
It's permanent now
Remember the stoic calm
I hope to meet more friends in life
Beautiful women
Please don't smile at me
Like this asian woman
I saw as I looked out
Across the offices
On the second floor
Beautiful she was
And I wonder what it would be like
Not to have an akward shoulder
To feel comfortable
In my own body
And to have a female friend
Same dull expression
Workout at gym everyday
Hear same meaningless expressions
Like "Step it up"
Please don't say that to that poor guy
Yes he was unemployed
Many people are in California
I practice the way of non striving
From time to time
I go through this life
The psychotherapist
Blah
She is gone now
A distant memory
And no
I will not contact her
Once I find a full time job
Like she suggested
That time is gone
And so the Taoist approaches life
As one meaningless moment to the next
He has not experienced
The union of man and woman
I cannot fix my left shoulder
Despite all the good physical therapy
Exercises I am doing
Why does it have to be bigger than the right
Oh well
That's life
Better to let go of all desires
Live in the present
The present moment is powerful
And that lady smiled at me
As if she could tell I was sad
I suppose so
I looked out on the horizon
As I did when I was young
Life
And Jesus will come one day
Who knows when
I hope heaven is a fun place
I just want to play golf there
And have female friends
I enjoy sweeping my home
And now I am going to pay a parking ticket
As my food digests
I am 30
And I have spent many hours
Alone
