Ballet and Violence
I try to hear your mind,
see or smell your mind,
taste or read your mind.
Is it ballet or violence?
The music you love
says little to me,
I can hardly hear it,
but read it, see it; our eyes meet.
Who the hell am I?
Who the hell are you -
or are you heaven?
Whose music do I hear?
How do I feel horror
yet something that shines
like a dream, or a vision?
Or even a ballet that is on its way?
So much of violence do I feel.
I see you now
in an autumn mist
that is my mind.
So, magic dragon, my friend,
am I witnessing
ballet or violence?
Do magic dragons do that?
So many things are weird to me.
Or am I the weird one?
Music, a magic dragon, troubled water, a dream -
who the hell am I? And who are you?
