Waking Dream


A cat's paw on glass?

Curiousity and Reflection;
face to face, yet alone;
examining Understanding.

Yet the Reflection did ripple,
therefore Understanding flees;
so Curiousity wanders outside.

I actually wrote this several months ago, but I just ran across the scrap of paper in one of my pants' pockets. It's also been revised and re-revised several times; hopefully it turned out better than the original verse... to critique my own art, it had started out as quite a "virtual skidmark of linguistic diarrhea", and I feel now that it has achieved a more noble status of "verbal cow patty in the final stage of digital decomposition".

I hope it leaves it's mark on your mind (no pun intended).
