The Giggling Plateaus of Zumgl


Your gorilla passed down the entryway
Fastidious herbivores cooking in the kitchen
Velvet milk with astral feathers
Teaspoon rollers in a half-winged pompous flight
Bocce jars and ice-cube liars swiping colors
Weighty ocular sheepskin diary juicers
A bat-winged chimpanzee swallowed spider resin after giblets
Penny igloos for the ones who might just be on time capsules
Roaches and windy bags of fear shall shut the muffin hut
Porcelain idols leaked upon the brass foam encountering a liaison
A disabled athlete’s finger and toe collection for a bush the size of a tree
Mortgage clipping swept away by the jester’s pretty city
Beware of the pockets of drool and despair, my ogre
Could a screwdriver agree to any hand-me-down trade?

Translator's Note: Dima is dabbling in surrealist poetry. Is it strange enough for you? It's certainly interesting coming from a cat, a surreal situation in itself. It was even Dima's idea to have this picture to intensify the surrealism. No, he's had no overdose on catnip.
