I will never wish death upon
another human being, No!
Instead, I will do them the service
of believing in reincarnation,
so they may live again
in a new shape or form.
The fact I wish that new shape
to present itself in the form of a parking spot
is admittingly for selfish reasons, though…
As I have longed to park a car
on more than one of you.
