While we pretend
to understand world affairs,
indulge in
minting money,
overthrowing postions,
manipulating data,
confabulating politics,
somewhere,
in an unclaimed touristy place,
polar bears roll on ice,
ants laugh at diabetics,
mountain goats defy gravity,
elephants play in mud,
spiders dangle above cleanliness,
pandas rip bamboos apart,
a little child learns cursive alphabets or
discovers the joy of eating ice cream.
Somewhere else, as well
a poet writes a poem,
that nobody
would ever read,
and smiles -
precisely for the same reason.
