The Reality

Why are we shocked with the space we owe

Convey with it a specific frustration,

With not a single companion to have

But how little we need to bring,

The main exhilaration that exists

Is the exhilaration we’ve carried with us,

Frangipanis outside needs thy steady acclaim,

The inflated shafts, once a primary fascination,

Looks fit for somebody other than me

Still it’s mine now and I think,

Will be known by the art we hang,

Maybe that is the reason

Wherever we go nowadays

Vanity has tailed us like a pet,

When we believe in anecdotes

Than worldly companions can never be ours,

I feel that with a house this way,

I should set up a major gathering

That would please with vulnerabilities of night,

And simply attempt to settle in

As everybody, even in his own space, is a vexed visitor
