I am deluged with words With diluvial figurative curves. I see how a king can pass through The guts of a beggar: I don't need to be a melancholy Prince To understand the string theory When a worm gets stretched From ground to beak, Or the night sky becomes a crossword Puzzle. Lakes are pools of tears; Clouds are bandaids covering Bleeding dimensions. The earth is a five ball Caromming through the green felt universe. Does anything seem as it once seemed? I have voices conversing In figures of speech. Should I be tied to a stake, Or, Heard as a soothsayer. There, See what I mean?
