Entitled Absent-Minded.
An old man dreams by a stone
While the earthquake catfish god
Hovers like a whiskered cloud
Of darkness and burning homes
Directly over his head,
His contented, dozing head,
His long-white-bearded, drowsing,
Inattentive head, maybe
Dreaming that catfish. The quake
Seems to mean nothing to him,
Although the wall-eyed catfish
God is on fire and smiling.
