Dreamworld
Laijon

every
drop of rain is nectar[1]
bees
and honeybirds too fat to fly
all
flowers are big like trees
and
trees like skyscrapers
hippos
are turning purple
and
they blow huge soap bubbles
cows
grow colorful patterns[2]
their
rivulet milk thick as yogurt
whales
and dolphins levitate
they
gyre up into the pink clouds
and
on top of hemisphere rainbows
they
slide down head first laughing
[1]
my original line “When you
are in a dreamworld, every drop of rain is nectar” I
jotted it down on my
notebook a few years ago and saved it for start line of a poem, but
could not build on
other lines because
the line“every drop of rain is nectar” is too beautiful and so
unreal that I’ve been wrong and stupid searching other lines in the
real world, and finally I’ve just realized today that I must go
into an unreal world to find all the beautiful dreamlike images and
lines.

line from Hai Zi poem
