everybody thinks

(haiku)

everybody thinks

down deep they are good people

with just a few flaws

everybody thinks

they have lived eventful lives

and should write a book

everybody thinks

the world revolves around them

despite what they say

and everyone thinks

if the world suddenly ends

they'll somehow survive

this world of ours

(haiku)

is like a riptide

for every two strokes forward

it pulls you back five

just when you give up

because it looks obvious

you're going to die

it lessens it's hold

and you find yourself floating

and gasping for air
