Even when they're married,
:12:40
people just think about themselves.
:12:45
When I came home,
:12:48
my wife and child
couldn't even look at me.

:12:51
The light wasn't even on.
:12:54
Theyjust said goodbye.
:12:57
Now that I'm a wreck
:12:59
they leave me just like that.
:13:02
Actually, it may be better this way.
:13:08
But I've got nothing to do.
:13:11
My mom says I should
take up a hobby or something.

:13:16
Haiku.
:13:18
She wanted me to join
a poetry group.

:13:20
Give me a break.
:13:23
Work is all I've ever known.
:13:29
Since I live by the seaside,
:13:32
maybe I should try painting.
:13:34
But I've never painted anything.
:13:36
I wouldn't know where to start.
:13:40
And the materials don't come cheap.
:13:46
Don't get me wrong.
It's not your fault.

:13:52
Maybe I'll buy a beret.
