So, as it turns out, LP is really good at haiku writing, too. Real good. Like, rice-eating, kimono-wearing, I Can’t Believe She’s Not Asian! good.
LP, I know I’m pimping you out on the interweb – or geisha-ing you out, if we’re to be in keeping with our politically incorrect and completely insensitive, mixed-up Asia theme here – so let me know if you object, but I absolutely have to post our exchange from this morning. It’s just that good.
Internet, what you need to know is this: LP is quasi-dating a man from afar, who is soon to be even a-farther when he moves to Vegas, then England. She dreamt of him last night, and needs help interpreting what went down. Even though what LP really needs is a blog. Let’s all pressure her into it, shall we?
Here it is, LP’s dream about her quasi-dater and my analysis of it, ancient Japanese style. Enjoy.
I had a bad dream
Now I am in a bad mood
A terrible start
I was with Mike Mark
He made out with someone else
We were at dinner
I just sat and watched
And I poked him on the leg
He kept making out
I finally left
And went to our hotel room
He followed me up
I tried to reason
And explain why that was bad
He thought it was fine
I was so confused
He was sorry, but not much
It never ended
I finally woke
No closure, disappointment
What does that dream mean?
_____________
I had one like this
He was dating another
And he told me so
I was just so hurt
I woke with tears in my eyes
Thank God – just a dream!
My analysis:
You are falling for him – hard
Emotions are high
You fear he will leave
And your subconscious knows this
So it tries to warn
Your mind, it reasons
But your heart has passion, and
Dare I say…feelings?
You must weigh heart, mind
What makes sense in your life now?
You must do what’s right
Where will you end up?
With Mike Mark, so far away?
Or is your life here?
To gambling and sin!
To Burberry and brew pubs!
(Thank God – no ‘taters)
Only you can know
But I’m here for you always
Go Dunbar! Snacks please?

I’m glad that it’s so entertaining, but that dream was fo’ shizzle. I’m seriously disturbed by it. But it’s true, our haiku skillz are far above the rest. The fact that we can have entire conversations about important things in haiku format is pretty impressive. I guess I should explain to the boy that we call him Mike Mark now that he’s out on the interweb.

[...] too. Because I miss her, I re-read our hilarious e-mail correspondence and laugh about the weeks where we only wrote to each other in haiku. Because I miss her, I talk about her incessantly, like a child with an imaginary amigo, and [...]
