| If you have ears…then listen.
There was a cat in the corner:
I know - I saw its tail twitch.
A mouse slid across the floor:
don't tell me it's only leaf shadows
flaying at windows.
Three dogs sit outside the café
drinking lattes -
I don't care if you can't see them.
A horse marches into the traffic:
why shouldn't drivers blare their horns?
Hermaphrodite elephants
impregnate each other,
struggling worms under the soil -
have you no ears?
If bottom-dwelling slugs
walked, or shrugged their shoulders,
men would cry out:
"Mountains fall on us!"
You walk as though the
moon never woke.
I know
some person dreams my dreams -
am I not in them?
will he wake? |
