FLORAL FRENZY: A romantic piece of nonsense Peering into a galaxy of colors and mysterious, elusive scents you perfumed my nostrils as the sun danced across fading wallpaper and plants sang euphonic non-sense Touching my calyx softly our bodies merged & phosphoresced into scarlet, blue, & pink as the bedroom sheets around us were suffused with attars of intimacy. Ah – to be a mayfly in spring! Aiko: Any idea what's going on here? Cindy: Perhaps simply a celebration of nonsense. Isn't most joy incomprehensible? Don: For sure. And isn't rapture actually the anaesthesia of the intellect? Bai-Luo: Indeed, there's something absurd about all ecstasy. ===================================================================================== from _Love Poems: Nonsense from the Heart_ SUMMARY: An artwork, poem, and dialog about joy, nonsense, and intellectual anesthesia.
