when Tom Cruise dies
I’m going to have him stuffed in my apartment
he’ll stand in the hallway just inside the door
with that charismatic smile
and greet the guests when they come

I read somewhere
that Tom Cruise
wanted to be a priest
before he became an actor
imagine walking into a church
and there stands
Tom Cruise
leaning forward and preaching

the legend
the myth
the savior
Tom Cruise
will live
in our hearts forever

of course
the AI is a moron sometimes
and I get pissed off
but still
I love that fucker
for helping me out so much
and he is fairly good at writing
sonnets with perfect meter
but sucks at writing other
forms of poetry
kinda interesting isn’t it?

so i saw a childhood friend of mine
is going to sell their estate
with an old castle on it

he comes from a swedish family of nobles
and lived in the castle when he was a child
and i played with him sometimes
in one of the 40 rooms
overlooking the gardens and the sea
between Denmark and Sweden

they’re asking 400 million for the entire estate

i sat there looking at the pictures
and i was thinking
of buying it
and invite my friend for coffee
in his former home
and we would sit there and talk
about the weather or some other bullshit

and for a brief second
the universe would feel like it made
some kind of sense

i just have to find
a way to get that 400 million

so I ran 16 kilometers yesterday
it was a good run
through the autumn leaves
the wide spaces
of yellow
and red covering the sky

and I think I was happy for a moment
and then I got
home, took a shower
and watched some TV
and slept all night

and today is
just another day
and sometimes the pain
is bearable, and sometimes it’s not
and there is really not that much more
to say about it
