I was sardined
in a skytrain car
on my way
to Kunokuniya
book store
in Siam Paragon
when a woman
got on at Victory Monument
wearing blue jeans
and a pink shirt that said
Men are idiots
Do you think God
dreamt up stupidity
on the same day
He engineered
the penis
When I shared this story with R.
this morning at breakfast
He said: Well, we are
made in His image
