For starters, stomp
The window both hands.
Stop whirling, world. Laugh
And listen. Hear the glass? Clang!
Five flights up is no high flying.
Where the earth turns, turn it off.
When slumped buildings start thumping,
The skyline breaks up in jerks.
His hands and feet go flying
Like drinks off a well-stocked bar.
Sunbeams branch out, like lightning
Smacked blind into a wall.
Framed landscapes take on a keen whine,
So even the Van Gogh’s scared stiff.
Rhythm swings into the room
With a whip won’t quit.
Bangs and screeches all over the place
Hold the crowd below stunned.
Like a rock through the. glass
To try and catch, here I come.
(Henrikas Radauskas)
