Thoughts From a Cave
A hungry thought escaped
from a great bear cave.
It squints in the sunlight
and shakes out the stiff.
Dries out the pang on a fat, wet rock...
Then takes to the trees.
Swinging like a gibbon on crack
(or the village drunk praying from the rack
gasping for bits of anything).
It looks up- takes to the air
way beyond the stratosphere.
Playing with stars and meteors
( dirty boy playing with cat eyes and jacks).
This cave though it can love,
will also destroy...
all in one breath.
It forgets where it came from
doesn't care where it is.
Has no purpose other than just being..
like wind from a cave.
