A Monday Sneeze Poem

 The caged parrot

Who sees me as a 

Crazy laundry lady

And the chained dog

Whose freedom we fancy


The bright orange butterfly 

Whose name my little intelligence

Knows not, still alive

Stuck on the tar road, 

Using its last breaths

Tugging for a flight of life


A little snail shell

Washed out from

Bunches of baby spinach 

Brought from a bustling bazar

Whose wares and knacks

Put to shame 

The glass and steel boring malls


And the starving dry puppies

Lost with no rescue, recluse,

Kindness or animal welfare

Whose eyes I cannot meet

Cuz I'm too busy to care.

And the water plants 

Which almost die and live

In our unlived room.


And a friend who asked me

"Is there any hope"


This is about all of them -

They decorate the quiet corners

Of my day and make me better.
