Multiplicity the Hallucination

Member since 2002 · Posted 4 Jan 2003 · 6 comments

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.

Hi, vulcan

Been meaning to read more of your "stuff" and I hope it is all as good as this one. Loved the way you tied it all together in the last stanza. It made me think which I like a poem to do. Very impressive with great imagery and meaning. I give it a nine though I think a ten is not out of line. Oh...just what does a crocodile taste like? I do know they are edible and I'm sure the croc views us the same way:)
