wide-eyed fool

 

I dreamt I was killed at dusk:

Took the hit while remembering a prayer,

A bullet, a knife or a cardiac attack felt like arrows of kama,

Thought of an old laughable act, flailing-arms-crying-ma

But I stood silent till the last thought vapourized.

the new law

 

"I didn’t do anything wrong, Officer."

"You don’t have to do, you thought wrong."

"That’s breaking the law? What did I think wrong?"

"You think the head of the state is a nincompoop."

"Everyone thinks so. Can I think of him as a #sigil?"

"As what?"

"As nonsense."
