Poem
Ajmer Rode
Premature Metaphor
I have winged with the flockthat nest
where the crop is good.
Wandered with the yogis
who deep sleep
in a world with thin flesh
Fought along the warriors
who ask
for a glass of sherbet
at the height of the battle
Moved with the eccentrics
who transcend
boundaries of races and colors
roam free on other lands
across the oceans.
On a premature metaphor
I float
sometimes a space age messiah
sometimes a washer man’s dog
I become.
