Sweet lemons and ashtrays that smoke,
wooden glasses
and drunken bottles of wine.

People that walk in circle
and dogs that bark on roofs.

Cars pushed on by Egyptians
and ice streets that take pills.

Trees make stand-up comedy
and money is too cheap.

Buildings gather around the fire
and say prayers to Jesus.

Storm and sun,
make love in the grass
and painters write pages about earthquakes.

Clouds sit on banks
and beg for rain,
Puppeteers ride horses
and flag around their clothes.

Children hide
in concrete hollows
and games quote
from Kant and Freud.
