I Found The Poetry In That

 


It's unbelievable the
eurika guy screamed
as he ran naked through
the main streets
of a city
I should remember
(but won't look up)

I think he meant it positively
But then he wouldn't
have known
they were burning
literature on bonfires
in the forest
(at the same fucking time)

Apparently reading was
a forbidden act
strangely it was authors
and publishers
who chose to
be the judges and jurors
of what was mind altering
information
(They wanted us to call them God)

I think that guy would've
put his clothes back on
and reversed through
a drive through
saying nothing at all
had he known
the largest of the bonfires
was called poetry
(The second was a fairytale wonderland)
