Nothing Makes Sense

There are stories that don’t make sense

And because of that, they are great stories

Regaled over time, over centuries

And yet without the words

Because the story involves a woman and a man

All good stories – including even those that make sense

Always involve a woman and a man

Especially at the vulnerable moment – naked

 

Man and woman meet one time

The two do not have anything similar

Except because they are bipedal

And breath in oxygen

But then nature somehow makes them

Fall in love

 

‘We do not make sense,’ the woman swats him away.

The man does not go away

‘So does the universe,’ he responds

If he was a poet, he will rhyme

“That’s some up us,

We do not have make sense

Because the universe is made of so much nonsense,”

 

One time, even without any prompting

They realize that they have made a baby

They do not understand how it happened

Because nothing makes sense

It was an accident, they tell their parents

Well, they do not tell their parents

She tells her parents – all alone

Because that makes sense to her

But it does not make sense to her parents

And her boyfriend who has already fled to Chalbi desert
