Twice


from the ABC set SURREALISM

I’m writing about a million cases
Of people entering the wrong building
Like fish swimming in the wrong direction
Like cattle falling off a cliff
Because sheepdogs were sleepy
And the lakes dry
And courtrooms just rooms.

I'm not writing about the few cases,
Which hide their patterns in empty honey jars,
And hunt a bear because she cannot be killed

Twice.
