vegetarian meetings

a man wished

to learn the meaning of life

so he spent is life learning meaning

in all its forms from

only to find himself formless

at the end

with books piled high

and a realization that

his life was meaningless

*

she looks at

me

and i wonder

if i am a

chopped lover

or

chopped liver

or just

chopped lived

she looks away

to cook and not

be burned

*

i am not i

when i wonder

who i am

and who i am not

*

this world is not

made for you

for you were not made

for this word

even though you and the world

are same bits of this
