Musings in Miniature: One Hundred Sixty-Six

1. The smaller one's world,
the greater one's happiness.

2. What you believe in
becomes your world.

3. : You know who I am?
: Yes, I do. You facebook.

4. Before you have time,
pay the price of time.

5. Dogs always bark
from a distance.

6. Unemployed people
are so very busy!

7. He who has unemployment in his blood—
when he has time on his hands,
searches for work as much
as he makes love.

8. Unable to find employment, he now
writes anti-job poetry.

9. Whose five minutes
are more precious than your twenty-four hours—
don't expect even five seconds
from them without reason.

10. Whatever comes free,
nothing can be gained
without paying its true price.

11. From busy people,
where they have no stake,
ask for money instead of time—
they'll be less annoyed.

12. What equal distribution?
Even at birth two brothers
entered this world differently:
one naturally, the other by cesarean!

13. However much suffering descends on earth,
flowers will still bloom!

14. Which flower blooms without reason?
Which bird sings without cause?
Habit or reason—something is needed!

15. If you want to chat
with a stranger,
find someone unemployed,
or learn their preferences.

16. Are you honest from the heart?
Or haven't you found the opportunity yet?

17. No birds came,
rain did.
The scarecrow weeps.

18. Even in this cold,
how do you remain so frigid?

19. Leaving the place of worship,
two thieves fell into argument
about the existence of God.

20. : When it rains you keep the windows shut? Afraid of rain?
: No dear, afraid of my own desires!
