Sigmund Freud
told me in a dream
that all things are
to be the way they have always been
for the sake of humanity
and the underwritten malady of our species.
I took his words
more as anecdotal than anything,
and continued
washing the windshield of my car
with vigorous clockwise scrubbing patterns.
Those damn birds will never understand
proper neighborhood etiquette.
Stencil in the fairy mist Tarzan aroma
for the paradise of the Ganges stallion.
We may not signify just what it is
that allows us to circumvent the traditional symmetry,
but we can try, can’t we?
No, we mustn’t try,
that would only cause heartbreak
and serious malaise for a time
where we do not understand the nature of things
as they should be, constantly unfolding
(beyond our control and happily flawed).
