The Dog and the Floor

The dog is laying on the wooden floor

It has brown and white patterns on it

And a round long body with stripes

The wooden floor, which is 30 years old

has stains all over it which looks like a piece of art

and has crumbs of food between its cracks

The crumbs, which are made of food and dust

abandoned for years and years to come

await eternal custody between the cracks

The cracks, created from constant use of the floor

continues to expand further and bigger

eventually taking over sections of the floor.

The stains, which were results of liquid spills

is left on the floorboard as a remembrance of them

And would never be erased or forgotten

The Punishment of Filth

Step down or you will stay

where the crayfish sleep

Possibly eating the crayfish too

Where all the lost and defeated go

For the rest of their lives

With their cheeks open for eternity

How the fish would poke 

And feed on your excrements

How tingly and provocative it feels

But apart from it

There is nothing one can do

To stop this from happening

The tedious process 

certainly bores one to the death

And makes one regret 

what sins he committed 

All that awaits one is the infinite punishment

Here I Sit

The exhausted man,

with his eyes barely wide

trudging slowly toward the can

after getting a drink goes to the side

The happy child

And his ice cream on a cone

became satisfied and smiled

With his teeth whiter than a bone

The giant statue

With its condition at the purest

Its glory matches to

a rhythm of a beautiful courant

The miserable lady

With her makeup wet in the rain

Wanting to cry like a baby

And her whole mind in vain

The old man

sitting on the bench

watching his old hometown

reminisces his town’s past

The woman with a red dress

Sitting on a wooden bench

Drinking a cup of hot coffee

looks at her phone
