the Persistence of Memory
by Salvadore Dali
Memory Persistent


Time is to mind
as birth is to life;
Infinite glimpses ~ dreams divagate on!
metal spring binding
or mental rewinding
all ~ fathomless faces, exposing warped time.

The eye of the I
viewing distant horizons
beginnings or endings ...
twisted thoughts grasp sublime;
our feats graze the hands
of a red faced watch;
ants in a civilized world ~
compound eyes judging
all that we do;  The fly
on proverbial walls ...

Bizarre collections,
surreal reflections;
skies rearranging while spilling old scenes,
memory persistent
like a madman insistent, that
each death will birth a new dawn!
