May Poem by RIC BASTASA

May used to be
a nun wearing a white habit
but due to some
misuse of words
which offended her
Mother Superior she was
asked to leave

and she married
a priest who fell in love
with her
left the congregation
so they can
have a life of their
own

if you think that they
live happily
ever after like
the usual story
of the fairy tale book
you are wrong

they're too religious
and they split
like
two like poles
that repel
each other finally
at the last
chapter
of their love story

in fact
it contained only
five pages
