14,291. TRANSLATE

 TRANSLATE
It's enough to call a cat a pussy,
this naming names we do. In any
event, congratulate the loser too;
the loser and you - pretending that
nothing is ever real. Such foolishness
goes on, and the cow is a cow forever.
-
Wandering has other names; we love
the heart that carries us about, embracing
and kissing every inch of the world we
see, and every day brings new meaning.
-
In the blackness, gleaming, is the story
of another age  -  the Popes at Avignon,
the Muslims in their rage. Name names
then, madmen : Uganda, Morocco,
Crimea, and Yemen! Call the dog at
death a friend. Call for meaning,
and an end.  
-
The cow is a cow forever, yes, but 
meanings play other games.
