Killjoy!

Sat in my car, looking at people drifting by ...

Maybe it had to do with the weather (gloomy as ever) or the fact that I was sitting opposite a hospital, but almost inexplicably none of the faces carried a ray of joy.

Of course, there were a couple of people (literally out of a thousand ..) who were smiling, but even those faces - the eyes - betrayed a hint of remorse, doubt, uncertainty or even sorrow over that smile ...

So,  the million dollar question is - why are people so glum? I mean, at least on average - in the scope of human emotion - probably 20% should look genuinely happy, but they are not ...

What's up, seriously? :)

Haiku

Vandalized by the frog,

The bull sits - shattered

The fan stirs faster,

Too loud, too cold and unforgiving

The game,

is the game, is the game - so there

Trapped between the extremes,

but walking the straight path - troubled

Funny word, is love

But hate is funnier still

If cowards can be victorious,

I covet defeat

I'm my own man,

Says the woman - scratching her balls

Some say Haiku is ugly,

But it's never been uglier ....

Confess in her

Tickled her fancy

Giggling all day long

Pretty good for a boring Thursday.

Emails and spreadsheets drifting aimlessly by

She smiled big–grinned really.

And I wonder if she counseled,

would she enjoy my confessions or would she lie?
