Absurd Memory (Poem)

Absurd Memory

By XP
  
  This is a time
  When absurdity exists no longer
  Ideas and thoughts piling up in flee market
  Emotions tagged with price
  We are no more surprised
  
  Drunk, people frivolously talk about
  The tender feelings
  That have been dressed up
  Or Madam butterfly
  Wearing combat boots
  
  Yet in a breeze
  From some corner of the Autumn
  I saw an unfamiliar look
  From a pair of unfamiliar eyes
  Like the deep ocean
  And it silenced instantly
  The dusk of the whole city
