walks through some world
we do not see
glides its lithe body
around one ankle
then the other
of some being
invisible to us
but real in its own world
and the leopard's
who then is the crazier
you and I
or the prophet?
be careful what you imagine
I myself avoid sentences
like I find in newspapers
fearing to read them
lest I write one like theirs
and never find my way
back to English again
suppose a lizard
no, suppose not
I would not lead you
into my imaginings
my stars and nebulae
might become
your demons and nightmares
my metaphors
your sparks to action
your revolution
that got you killed
sit with me then
pretend whatever you pretend
I will not intentionally
infect your dreams
not this time
