Second Thoughts About Stoogism


.

Even my resilience is limited

The crashing silence of the palm trees

The rubber ball is on its
Eight thousandth bounce
The logic of elasticity
Is growing blurred

It is 5:19 A.M.

I have a feeling
Like being X-rayed
In the privacy of my house

    is getting blurred very much.

    Aditya,

    These Stoogism poems were written some time back while living in Southern California, a place which seems (or seemed to me anyway) to blur all forms of logic...

    Thanks, I like reading you too.
