Ridiculous Poem by Maddi Eden

Isn't it funny
How when you're in love
Ridiculous things
Have extraordinary meaning?

For example, let me cite
The Boxing Day tsunami
On that disastrous day
I thought as much about the poor victims, as about
Whether he would call me later, or not.

When there were bombings in London
I commiserated the dead to myself
And then lamented
That he had forgotten my birthday.

How ridiculous.
How frighteningly ridiculous.
