1.
this world is too vast
to grasp
but she thought
the world is flat like a piece of paper
hence with a pen, dissolving everything 
allowing everything to flow freely into
a poem

she continues to wait
for the poem
like the sunlight and rain
like earthquakes
and volcanoes

2.
truthfully she
and the entire earth
are sad…

3.
she is sad
and hence
the world is very
sad

4.
sad
to a point even you couldn’t tell 
how the world could possibly be sadder?

5.
you’re a sad little boy
a sad young man
a sad little toy
a sad human being…
