FACES & FIVES / Dan Nielsen
A Hubbub
In bowling,
the most difficult
spare
I ever made
was all twelve pins.
I never sat
at the cool table,
but I once mistakenly
thought that someone
waved me over.
Jesus arose after three days
because three weeks
was too long
and three minutes
would be silly.
When I have insomnia
it’s so boring
I fall
right to
sleep.
Sometimes,
when a girl says,
“Sure, I‘ll have
sex with you,”
she’s being facetious.
Nothing makes
any sense
until you realize
that nothing makes
any difference.
When I see a gull
catch a fish
it makes me wonder
why fish don’t swim
a little deeper.
Sometimes she calls me
a complete idiot and
sometimes she calls me
a total idiot and
I don’t know which is worse.
It’s fine to unwind
as long
as you don’t
become completely
unwound.
The bad thing
about mountain tops
is all the people
shouting
from them.
Most things
that
are invisible
can also float
in the air.
What I do
is
more important
than
what happens.
I like to pretend
that my bike is a horse
and my car
is a
spaceship.
Few men realize
that going with prostitutes
is less expensive
than being
married.
I don’t make
a lot of sense,
but I do
make
perfect sense.
The End
