it was a nice little haiku
that dr. khoowhoo shared with my girlfriend and me
in the state i was in i can’t really remember it but it went something like this
you will be dead in six months
or if you are lucky perhaps
maybe you will make it to a year
my girlfriend stood up and left the room
his eyes reminded
me of a worn stone in the
Great Wall of China
