Elsewhere in Dreams

Backpedal

I hate you.

Well, no, it’s just that you live
in poetry and dictate in
tightly worded prose.

It’s a still life edged in
static, or an aeroplane
underwater.

But that’s not the point:
you’re leaving the cage
and I’m leaving the
tower and neither
of us is guru;

maybe we’ll meet in old
and middle ages
respectively.

We’re not so different,
you and I:
we both take coffee
with our cream.

Exactly? Well I like it because it takes me somewhere else when I read it… because I can read it, and it means somthing… because, even if I interpret it in a way differently then you ment it to be taken, it means somthing…
and because generally it just appeals to me, the style and sound, and I have a feeling it’s one of the poems where the words stick in my head, and they will be running through my mind randomly, when I least expect it.

and because only smart people take coffee with cream :)
