random universe defined
if the world, the universe
are not attuned to my needs
then all being must be random
somehow smacks of arrogance
on my part
the assumption of a small child
that, if unsatisfied, i need only
whine and cry, and my desires
should be met
there can be no purpose to existence
if it is not centered upon me
we take turns
original poem by mjNordgren
haiku
lingering anger
with talk-over-anyone
our non-listener
