Fortune cookies for lost fortune man
On skinny man with pale face
Is black t-shirt overpriced;
Japanese symbols are pink,
“Lost fortune” is written with white.
In the center is skull
Of someone who wore it before.
Looks like a robot or marionette,
Who wants to change his second view role.
So, “Lost fortune” came in cafe.
It’s on the other side of the street.
Where theater opens the doors
Of the room-dramas and dreams.
Shoebox size, mosaic floor,
Projector-free ticket to the museum:
Exposition of Monet and Kalo,
Turkish coffee and slow Arabic musi’c.
Ex actress. Now the waitress,
Day by day, meets so many faces,
Carries an ornament plate, wearing no laces,
Is coming to you, to give half of the moon pieces.
It’s Bad and doesn’t taste good.
Was the letter always inside
Or materialized with the authors look?
That’s a bad habit.
He knows who are you
And why have you come,
Though, he won’t loose chances to mock.
If you were him, you would probably like.
Fortune cookies for lost fortune man...
You’ve still got sense of humor, yes you have!
And you are the greatest in checks.
Long on no any color in cheeks.
You’ve read me-I’ll read it
Supper in mind with
Till the next crossroad-
One point-to put two commas,
The favorite place for “forget”.
Crumpled life recipes
Are sewn into the lining of jacket,
On the bottom of pocket and bag.
Number of fortune cookies-
Enough to burn the whole state,
But not enough to light a small flat.
You’ve still got sense of humor, yes you have!
Another evening.
Don’t remember what was the season.
Maybe all at one time.
Yesterday’s checks, menu and guests.
One fortune cookie’s on plate,
Actress waitress is having on hand.
No one is around.
Hope, it’s not for me.
Break it.
That was the last.

If I were
If I were cat,
I’d be afraid of people.
They’re so huge, so noisy and so aggressive.
They touch you all the time
And never let you sleep.
If I were cat,
I’d wear a strange name.
Sounds like Caesar or Hercules,
I don’t know exactly.
If I were cat,
My owner would offend me
And throw something heavy,
When I sit on his balcony.
If I were cat,
Every day I’d eat the same.
I hate this canned food
But my owner thinks I do love it.
Asshole, I don’t.
If I were cat,
My owner would feel jealous,
Cause this beautiful girl
Won’t pay to him any attention.
Why does she speak like a small child?
He would blame me,
That he can’t get her into his bed.
If I were cat,
I would stare at dogs,
Walking in the park,
Smelling each other, and think.
Would you rather be a dog?
If I were dog,
I’d be alone
And never find a friend,
Cause affection hurts.
If I were dog,
I won’t get over it.
I don’t wanna see tears
In rearview mirror,
When my friend drives me to vet.
If I were dog,
I don’t wanna die
Under his glance
And I don’t wanna him hesitate,
If to find a new friend.
If I were dog,
I’ll fear that I cannot defend
Our home from invaders,
Cause I’m not enough strong
And not enough brave.
If I were dog,
I’d hate Hatiko movie,
Respect Monmorancy
And afraid of the Baskerville.
If I were dog,
I would listen to millions of stories
From homeless under the bridge,
Wake up to the birds song and bark.
Would you rather be a bird?
If I were bird,
I’d believe in Phoenix
But fear to be burnt,
Sitting on electricity.
If I were bird,
I’d be famous
Of playing in Hitchcock’s film.
You saw me, one of the millions.
If I were bird,
I would build the weak nests
And unsuccessfully try to find
Birdhouses on trees.
If I were bird,
I won’t fly a lot
Because of the laziness,
Respect pigeons and laugh on carrots.
If I were bird,
I’d like to know, how it’s to swim.
I would jump into the water and ask,
Would you rather be a fish?
No, that’s why
I’m just a man.
No matter, who I’m
My thoughts and fears are with me.
Cat or dog,
Bird or fish.
They’d be the same,
Forever.
