The Eloquent Basket
by William Robbins
copyright 06-24-2002


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
In a pasture shaped as a happy face
and covered with silvery four leaf clovers
I sit eating lustrous blue apples and orange biscuits
from a golden picnic basket formed like a question mark.
When I raise its lid
it sends funnels of crimson musical notes
into the surrounding forest of pink and yellow striped pine trees.
A bronze dirt road bordering the pasture
stretches through the center of the trees.
Where it meets the forest’s edge, the notes slowly disappear into the bark,
but not before uttering a chorus of Gregorian chants
that exposes an alabaster archway hovering just above the dirt.
Inside its arch I watch as galaxies appear
filled with a scintillating plethora of rainbow pretzels.
Suddenly, from the basket
there emanates a lilting melody from unseen bag pipes
causing me to be lifted into the air and sucked into the archway.
A moment of trepidation and screams
then I become another rainbow pretzel
seeing black holes in my prayers.
