I love my washing machine...

A day ago you were here.
At a certain moment a funny sentence escaped your mouth, while chatting about anything and nothing.

I love my washing machine

It made me smile. I think I never heard that sentence before, and maybe you were the first one to say it with such a passion.

Then again, maybe not, washing machines exist long enough and with a world population of 6 billion, chances are real that somebody screamed before with even more passion Don't take my washing machine away from me, darling, please don't do such a thing, I love it!

I don't have a washing machine to love
I have you to desire.

When, later, you slept on the couch because our bed was too full, I could not do anything but go and watch you sleep.
The courage it took me to get out of the bed, first to the bath room, full of doubt, stand there and wait, make a choice between nothing and anything, hands on my face.
Minutes later, my hand on your face and you waking up alerted from my being there.
You smile, take my hand, and ask what I am doing.
Watching I say. Only for 5 minutes.
And seconds later you fall in dreams.

Beauty in front of me, peace in my heart.
Minutes go by.
The difference between your hand and mine has faded, and my eyes softly fall. I have to go, have my own dreams.
Slowly I take what was once a hand back.
You don't want to give.
I don't want to take.

Hours later I go.

Smile of the day

A koala is sitting up a gum tree … smoking a joint when a little lizard walks past and looks up and says,
“Hey Koala ! What are you doing?”
The koala says:
“Smoking a joint, come up and have some.”

So the little lizard climbs up and sits next to the koala and they have a few joints. After a while the little lizard says his mouth is ‘dry’ and is going to get a drink from the river. But the little lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.

A crocodile sees this and swims over to the little lizard and helps him to the side, then asks the little lizard:
“What’s the matter with you?”

The little lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting smoking a joint with the koala in the tree, got too stoned and then fell into the river while taking a drink.

The crocodile says he has to check this out and walks into the rain forest, finds the tree where the koala is sitting finishing a joint, and he looks up and says “Hey you!”

So the koala looks down at him and says:
“Shiiiiiiiiiiit dude … how much water did you drink?!!”
