Whenever I see this poem
it reminds me
of a funny friend of mine
who one day
when I was trying to sell my house
and had this painting lying around
advised me to get rid of my man-hating poem.
Which is the kind of thing
that can happen
when you only read the first few lines
of a poem.

PS: My friend once told me, he said, Lisa

Depression isn’t a disease
like most people think it is,
it’s a healing response
like a runny nose is
to a virus.

Which I think is the finest way
to describe the Big D
I’ve ever heard.
Thanks, friend who prefers to remain nameless.
