A Deflated Siesta at the Bank

Poem Artwork

An elapsed eclipse

has dwelled

amidst a red glowed  tune I mixed up with the moon and not the sun

as correctly as a mistake is seen the same

    wrong twice

       but correctly expressing my dissention with the right.

.....answer

and ...

     ....a speaking answer  answered.....

         "I was right and a professing professor

              answered the answer thinkling

              that I  was wrong.

              in the exact same sense

              but not historical context

                 when I was asleep in the hay"

And I replied

"exactly what do you mean "

      "in the in-between is

            neither a void nor a parnoid notion

           of even an ocean

           that can be asociated

           and projected as a space

          where

         the sun or moon  might lay

          as i did in a field of dismayies

          when I thought this through

          obviously at night

          the same as you are speaking to me alone at day

              some answer to your question that had been sleeping elsewhere

        full of light

 though

         it had been at night

              in order 

              for order

               to concur with my answer

which has     

no preliminary assumptions in the posing or reposing

     I 'ad been habituated to 

         As english has no corresponding word for siesta

         and no word to say whether my  labors weren't labors

         just to think of an answer so far in the astray

         where in resides no bank

               no cash in my pay

                    on payday

And where were you at that time of day?

  ......At a reflecting

          corresponding

               bank?"

  So neither of us can be right nor wrong

      Just a matter of money and a song about money

      Should anyone ask a bank

And depending on whether they are all at lunch or on break

Or at home in the hay.

 

   In my opinion

       If that's what you respectfully speak:

           As an opinion cannot relate to a bank

           No more  than a tomatoe talk to a patch

           No less than a tomatoe talk with a patch

          but

            Only  with a patch of hay.
