Fixing Breakfast

When I look back upon The last time I was in Africa High in the mountains there With the humming birds Exotic with their huge musical wings Even sexual in their colors, red Like heat, blue like ice, Wet wiping the air With rhythmic beats, Dissolving in clouds. Everything vanishes when you are away. When I remember the deserts Of Antarctica, low on the drifting Dunes of snow, there the cold Mirage of Japanese emigrants... Confuses me.  What are they  Doing here?  And then are gone. This is getting really strange. When I forget to take the oatmeal Off the burner and it burns, Nothing a little cold water won’t cure.  But breakfast is ruined.  And I’m late. I’m a total klutz, nothing is right. Everything happens when you are gone.

Additional Notes:
A Poem for Valentine's Day, even if you live in India. Nothing a little imagination won't cure.
