A vase is

from

a tree travel faster

towards the ground;

Two fries are inside

the shallow water of the vase;

A broken branch of a tree

blocks the vase

and disappears;

Birds flying horizontally

shedding two feathers

into the raging river;

They swim for a while

and

became a new creature.

They roll their eyes

watching you,

waiting for you

to

name them,

if you cannot name

them before reading

the last line of this poem,

you will be chased

by

two birds

or

two fishes

or

two unnamed creatures

Now you are scared

you continue reading

back of your mind

still finding a name for

those creatures

still, you keep reading

you are curious now

or

you got bored now

or

smiling at this poem,

whatever you do

find a name quickly

or else

creatures will chase

you

wait, what am I doing here?

I jumped into the poem

trying to protect you

from the creatures,

now you sigh;

they started chasing me.

suddenly,

a peacock fly into this

poem;

I stand under a tree

watching the peacock,

eating those creatures

and sigh;

a feather like fish

fell on my shoulder

winked at me

with a creepy smile.
