Cacophony

Alan Cohen

The room is so charged with declaration
I close my eyes
Lake, trees, candles
Pastel cushions, artificial flowers
Jars, carpets, pillows
Couches, sculptures, chairs
Paintings, spring and winter
Mirrors, 1000 books of poetry, glassware
Literary criticism, philosophy
Travel, biography, lamps
Tables, low ceiling, drawers
Faces and fictions, factions
All shouting disparate languages
Colors screaming, at odds

I watch my pulse
Slow it
And prepare
Not to disagree
Just to say “me”
While they all say no
