“Oh, you’re a writer and you work with kids and you’re single—perhaps, you would like to watch our kids?”
Young married couples with children are desperate
They are itching to be alone, but nobody can scratch that itch but me.
I don’t like to scratch other people
It gives me no satisfaction
I hope the right chemicals fill my brain
when I have kids
so I don’t leave them in a ditch somewhere
in pursuit of what I love most:
solitude.
There is a reason why I’m not married.
She will have to let me scratch myself
and there are not many women
who will allow this.
I have been on the search
for some time,
trying to discover who I am
in relation to humanity.
I love kids
I would like a big mansion
in the wilderness
with a harem of women
and 1000 children
running free
in the fields
all screaming my name,
“daddy”
with butterflies in their hair
while I type grand works of fiction
and win Nobel Prizes.
Unfortunately,
most men
live in tiny houses
with big women
who run their lives
like a fast-food restaurant.
The children can’t look up to their father
because he is an ant
and the mother
might squash him
at any moment.
So, I have to become a genius
before I can proliferate.
There’s much to be said about the perks of living alone…mostly, answering to no one but one’s self.
