SQUIGGY

Once upon a time,
there lived a man named
Squiggy Bernard
Everything he saw
was an absence of clarity
Everthing he touched
either fused or torn
His clothes were either too big
or too small
But everybody loved him

And spoke:

"As I look into this brook
water trickles down
Upon my face in reflection
I come across a frown"

"Whilst I sit back
stare into black
Oh how I ponder"

"In deep reflection
I see myself...
or rather,
An illusion of myself
that can be rippled
& distorted
and rained upon
It can be the depression of a muggy day
or the clarity of gleaming sunlight, crystal clear
It varies day to day, hour to hour
constantly changing the same...."
