I went to the grocery store to buy
a pumpkin that's good for us

I saw several types of
pumpkins
I chose an old pumpkin

I was standing at the checkout counter
and the lady checking out
said
"Can't you look at old pumpkins funny?
It's more expensive than a young pumpkin."

I laughed and said
"It's not like people"
we wouldn't have done this
from the start either.

"Honey, look here
you hand-washed your clothes
and they smell bad
It's too much..."

"Yeah, okay
I won't do it again"

“Thank you.”

"If I had smelled that smell
I wouldn't have been so
already"

Before I got married
When we were dating
we'd stop by a bookstore
People said
"You two look so much alike"
I laughed because it felt good

Actually
my wife is very good looking
I am very ugly

In 35 years of marriage
I never heard anyone say that
Then today
I met a farmer couple in the parking lot
and we got to talking about this and that

“You have to work
as if there is no blood or tears
for your customers.”

I told them my story
They looked back and forth
between my wife and me and said
"You two look a lot alike."
I said, "How nice."
This time my wife laughed along with us

Really,
love makes us look alike
there are no conditions
and that's why I thought
love is beautiful and great

Oh Happy Day.

They can live without their parents
They can't be without their children

So love flows on today.

from
morn ing
to
even ing

they believed in love
they shared a hope
In the end
they were hunted to extinction
they were moved to reservation
Survivors
painful seconds
in the five oceans six continents
they are killing themselves with loneliness
Human, they
buried love in the battlefields
betrayed each other's trust
from the past
time of shame
those days are coming.
