Haiku for Breaking Up
Dating post thirty,
like shopping in TK Maxx:
a lot of effort.
Art and Science tried
but Art meant it all too much
and Science didn’t.
I drown in my dreams,
where she used to tread water;
I remember Yeats.
I never thought I’d
love someone who’d vote Tory
but I really did.
Going out with you
was like dating a spreadsheet;
useful but quite dull.
Tis better to have
felt immortal and a fool
than to never have.
