crazy

a man took off

all of his clothes

then went

running down the street.

one mouth said,

‘crazy!’

another mouth said,

‘crazy!’

but, you are crazy,

I am not crazy.

a tree penetrates

the center of the sun,

while the stone boy

eats the brilliant moon.

who repaired

the sun and the moon?

in a nest,

baby birds

cheep

cheep

cheep

only for

their mother’s mouth.
