Flavored Literature Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

True originality and out of the box
creativity is to make reality appear
from an incongruous angle.

Of course certain orientations
after some practice appear to be normal
but is the new appearance significant?

And significant from who's perspective?
If the angle of view is so arcane as to
conserve its mystery it is simply

because it has not been experienced.
It's like a magic trick. Until you know
how it's done it remains interesting.

Books tend to be like people. As unique
as each person but in fact each different
from the other. It began eons ago when

recognition inside a library was important.
Therefore books were arranged on shelves
with their spines out but for a change

I found I could recognize a book by its
worn opposite. Not only by a crinkled
pages here and there but specifically

where smudges are the books fingerprints.
Mine of course. Ketchup blood!
In addition to their contents I instantly

know what I was munching at the time.
In fact I respectfully consider I add
flavor and spice to the fiction.
