Poem

II

There it stood, naked and ashamed
Whether it says, yoüre sick, go to the doctor
It doesn¿t laugh enough
It liked looking at pictures of cats
It liked reality almost as much as it liked the imagination
It filed away its disasters and threw away the key
It drove to a far away place where there was no water
It is going on a long journey without socks
It found itself in a cloud of gnats
