Surreal
Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a surreal prose poem. For inspiration, check out Franz Kafka’s collection of short parables (my favorite is “The Green Dragon”).
The link for the great collection of parables mentioned in the prompt is here.
I was late writing this poem, and the main inspiration came from the prompt and this great video on Aeon about Leibniz/monads
That the knots in the sun
were connected to the path
that the ant took in cold weather
and further connected still
to clanging pots and pans
of kitchen drawer as he readied himself
to cook for four
And connected to the constant sound
The waves made during the evening
While lying on sand dunes after picnic
and looking at the constellations
while the ants marched forward still
That all these things were singular and
connected at once
is well-understood
Once in a blue moon
