Etcetera 4

A Poem by Anand Sehgal

An unmindful , grazing Zebra;
A shocking holy bath;
Magic and a shivering donkey !

Heaps of worn, cliched masks ;
A predestined, welcome gale;
Gales of loud laughter !

A single spotlight and many men;
A goldfish and two male cats;
A meteor coming closer !

Increasing breathing rate ;
Perspiration, a glass half full ;
Bed sheet with patterned
stains of salt !

This is one very random party! While I am still trying to worry about the Zebra becoming the donkey, I am smitten by the goldfish and two male cats. :D
Kidding aside, I love your crowd and the way you describe their pretense and many masks. It is beautifully absurd and very enjoyable. :)

you got it right ! insecurities every-where, just like spread-it butter :)
And so it goes on and on........shall we ever be able to untwist the messes we create, the confusion we cause, the results gone wrong by our own doing? A hodgepodge of items much like the way a day may unfold for us!
Creative!!

Thank you Sheila for the comment. Yes life is a collage of granular images and symbols
A beautiful Zebra with a shivering jackass...? This was very interesting to me. Many layers. The goldfish and the beautiful Zebra I think are metaphorically the same woman and the two male cats represents the territorial feel of two men ? A three way? LOL ok I lost my train of thought. Love the form.. shallimarRose
