Poem Of Nothing And Everything

By Rupinder Bains

Bang

They say

You should start with a bang

To catch attention

But

You don't even know

I exist

And I don't know

Who you are

But I know

Kangaroo babies weigh

Less than a gram,

That the roads are

Two horses wide

And that tomato plants

Are poisonous

It's weird how much I know

From talking

And eavesdropping

We know so much

And we tell so much

Share little parts of ourselves

So much so

I am a collage

Of everyone I know

It feels so sweet

And innocent

Like the first mango of the summer

The juice, it drips

Amir Khusro knows

And so does every other

Mango lover

Bang

Had to catch your attention again

Says every teacher ever

Without the again

Humans are way too easy to manipulate

A slice at the top

A slice at the bottom

What is it?

An idiot sandwich

Billed eyelashes and

Cold apes

Make good music

But so do

So many more

It's interesting

How we haven't run out of words yet

How many patterns do you think we can make?

The universe is too big

For me to comprehend

So I make it

Comprehend me

Yes I'm the main character

Sorry to break the news to you

Ah news

North East West South

South West East North

Swen ha

Where is the mistletoe

Not above my head that's for sure

Reminds me

Of Robert Frost

My man loved his neighbour's woods

"Indeed" ~Akaashi Keiji

Bang

Wrestling

Boxing

Sports

It's an invention

Shows how we love to

Endanger ourselves

The cliff of death

Falling again and again

The rush

Is amazing

It might seem

I am at

Odds with myself

But the truth is

I have multitudes within me

A realist, an idealist

A rebel, a conservative

A lawyer, a cook

A doctor, a pilot

A poet, an author

I talked to the director once

The answer to become everything

Is to become an actor

Cons and conspiracy

I like

Bang

You see, I don't judge

There's no good or bad for me

I'm not pompous like that

You see

It's a subjective thing

It's best

Not to believe

Subjective things

They're not meant for you

It's like

Putting your hand

In a honeybee hive

It'll sting

But if you tolerate the pain

Honey

(Although you'll need brains too)

(Just wear a bee suit next time)

(It's your armour)

(Metaphor)(or not)

Bang

Metamorphosis is cool

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

Is not

It's a lung disease

Also the largest English word

I learned it in 5th grade

You should learn it too

If you don't

Dishonour on your cow

It's not political

It's Disney

♫ This is Mickey Mouse

Club house

Look how fun it is! ♫

On another note

Bows are

O kawaii koto

The world,

O kawaii koto

Bang

The barrel is empty now

You should call the cops

Something happened here

Don't expect me to answer

It’s just like

Something the Buddha said

God complex symptoms:

Yes

For legal purposes

You still don't know me.
