Podcasts Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Podcasts

I took off my shoes and
-left them there
-on the rack
-took space…

I did same with my shirt, trousers
-and the rest to the food I purchased
-everyone took space, exact same…

Then I thought of my talk
-phone, TV and clouds
-whatever on the waves…
-mesmerised, surprised
-I wondered:
-'Which space do they take? '

Dumbfounded I remained
-'None' is what don't accept!

Yes true
-I have seen the lakes, seas
-have observed many waves
-even rode on some and escaped them
-many times was trapped, caught by them
-curious stood and saw nothing after a settlement
-it seemed like it had not, not at all, been there, wave
-but what about energy? Does it die?
-'No never…changes shape and its form…'

When will we bite our lips?
-'We were wrong! '
-as we have with the oil, polymers, plastic?
-and carbon-dioxide, pollution…
-and loss of glaciers at the poles,
-and forests and oceans!

I swear it will come
-late maybe but for sure
-I stand my ground; stand firm:
-"Nothing that exists is space-less! "
-soon we shall rush, delete all these waves!
