Twist 5 Poem by RIC BASTASA

Twist 5



he lives in two worlds
he has one body, his hands
break when he changes places
his heart is tough
his mind always finds
two explanations
two worlds never reconcile
it is this
neither nor situation
whatever his eyes see
are beautiful
his hands cannot touch any one
when he touches it
there is death

somehow for all those years
there must be a compromise between
water and oil

and so he lives in two worlds
every morning he rises to live
at night
he sleeps to die
and it has been happening
since then

in the house everyone like to love
him
in one condition that there must only be
one world
and so every hour he lives in fear
every minute

but like a dog he learns the tricks
he is young
two worlds live within him
one body one imagination
