Today's reader submission comes from Buzz, who is quickly becoming my lifeku star:
I dropped my car off for service last week, and while they worked on it I went for a walk. I was horrified by the trash littering the side of the road. From fast food wrappers, to dirty diapers, to a plastic orange juice bottle filled with what looked like urine. Are you fucking kidding me? Where is the love for Mother Earth?? You ever see a cig smoker almost at the end of the butt, and they cup it, a secretly let it go?
Hey there cig smoker
Throwing it down discretely
You’re a litter bug!
What is that bad smell?
Ooh, baby’s made a poo-poo
Toss the diaper? Gross!
Hey there litter bug
I would love to see your home
Do you trash it too?
What is a lifeku?
A lifeku is a haiku about daily life. For those who are unfamiliar with haiku, it is a form of Japanese poetry usually about nature, "profound," and formatted in 3 lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables. Feel free to check out some famous haikus if you still don't get it.
