Dissertation
Recently asked to sum up my proposed dissertation research in a haiku, to help maintain focus. Here it is (Of course subject to change at any moment):
What do gardens have
to do with Quakers? What are
their untold stories?
These are special requests poems, someone sent me the bumper sticker idea.
ONE
Jesus, you have everything some girls
Love to see in another human
You are determined, smart, handsome, kind
But you cannot be trusted with love
Everyone flocks to you, everyone
Else doesn’t know your truth, everyone
Thinks, that humor, that knowledge is all
You’re made up of but I know you’re
An untruth, under that guise you’re an
Asshole, a sham of a gentleman.

TWO
Jesus yes! to casual sex, he
Loves my breasts, my ass, my hips, my face
You do too – but not casually
But you are too serious for me
Everyone has opinions, no one
Else matters, who cares what anyone
Thinks, you want long term commitment and
You’re ready for forever, but I’m
An explorer, curious to learn
Asshole from saint with no strings attached
