The User Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

The User

Rating: 5.0


what is it they are 'getting' from me-
thought the stream-
as it was passing by the two of them.

the two of them were 'using' the flow of the stream
to make a small turbine run-
the turbine in turn made a bulb burn
'Aaah' that was it thought the stream.

: 'If they could see the light in my rattle-
why are they so deaf to my chatter? '
thought the stream as it was saying bye.

The interaction between man and nature is always interesting. But we seldom get feedback from streams, etc. Praise for your rich imagination. Kind regards, Sandra

Some things in life seem constant, but a river can change courses.
