Promise
You promised not to get
surprised today when
the ugly woman
lifts her skirt and
shows you her garden
nor when the man next door
who lived his life stupidly
will show you the wind’s direction
nor when you sit at the bus stop
observing how people react
to pain, today, you promised
not to get surprised
unless you meet the young student
from the house behind yours
who you occasionally watch
through her open curtains,
in her bed making heavenly moves
under the influence of the full moon
