Words, swords, crowds
Laugh together!
And they mingle.
Drink hot coco
Sniff the roses.
They stain the porcelain cups.
Dive deep in lakes of tea
Emerge spotless.
The journey continues,
This mixture of paraphernalia
Slides down the left ear
Of a grumpy, white cat.
It’s ticklish, it makes me giggle!
Whispered the cat!
As sleepy as I ever was
Just let me linger.
Take your flight!
But it is too late,
A cultural revolution enthralled
This dusty room, this lazy cat.
Let us erase Shakespeare!
Let us forget Keats!
The fate of art is to linger!
