Symbol Shock

Mike Berger, PhD

The great abyss is staring
back at us. Whistling gypsies
parade; a turquoise sky keeps
time with a yard stick. The purple
moon laughs at their gyrations,
as the universe laughs itself to
sleeps.

Seagulls squawk a lilting
melody awakening the nimble
imp in my mind. It pounds
fanning the smoldering desires
to be a pelican protected by law.

Thousands of walnuts litter;
the grapes make sour wine.
The river is on fire; choking
smoke is a shroud of white.
A cockatoo sings ribald songs.

All the above happens when
we encounter a ¤ or a ?. Our
eyes dilate and we shake
from symbol shock.
