Replying to a comment on:
Multiplicity the Hallucination (Free verse) by vulcan
Am I not he who
In a moment of glee
Believed himself to be
The bee
from over the Lord's soft bower fled?
Am I not the one who thought
he's the Devil and ate a crocodile
That had served for his daddy's dish
An old lace-enamoured bitch,
while
The Flowers talked of the bygone days?
Am I not the he who in a glance
Was put into a bottle and sent
Over the seas
Only to be a leaf
To a man
Thinking under the trees?
From all these I conclude that I
A crocodile-engraven bottle in a bed of flowers
Feed
Where the bees talk with the thinking man
On the Leaf's journeys
Overseas
In a glance.
