Living in fool’s paradise

a poem by Remigius de Souza

Once conditioned by the system
Subjected to a quarter century
Of rigors of the schooling
It is not easy going, easy keeping
Aflame awareness
In the cyclonic waves turbulent
By the anarchist housekeeper
One tends to buy time
In the memory (of events, images)
In future (projecting hopes, images)
Transient is but Time.
Remi is racing with Time.
