why are you holding my hand lulu

do you love me

no

then what are you doing

i am reading your palm

really

what does my future hold

you will die in thirty four minutes

how do you know that i am going to die

because you are sitting on a railway line

the express is due in thirty four minutes

what happens if the express is cancelled

then you will not die in thirty four minutes

i am not sitting on a railway line lulu

i can see that

i am sitting on a tree stump

if i remain sitting on this tree stump

then i will not be hit by a train

that is true

may i pause this poem

please do




i never thought of it this way

which means

that i must be in love

with you

without knowing

about love
