A Haiku Opinion

by Leslie

the greatest insult
you can inflict on someone
is to ignore them

“Why do we die?”
“Are we born for no reason?”
“What happens after?”

“Well, what do you think?”
I ask, because the truth is
I’d like to know, too.

I had planned to write
once the kids went to bed, but
I’m just too tired

a most useless place
waiting for a yes or no
Dr. Seuss was right

You know how one human year is like seven cat years? I seem to have developed the same kind of relationship with alcohol. I had two glasses of wine last night before bed. Today, I felt more like I’d had two bottles.

When I was younger,
I’d drink and get wild, but now
I just get sleepy

Still, the allure is the same. The idea of falling quickly and soundly asleep is just as appealing to me now as partying it up was in college. The morning after feels the same, too, except now the next morning lasts a whole day.

Wine: It’s like that ex-boyfriend you bump into and think, “Wow, why did I ever break up with him?” and then you go to lunch and you’re like, “Oh, that’s why.”
