A Few Headless Creatures - Reading Paul Klee

Once upon a time
a few headless creatures
suddenly started pondering life
with their weightless bodies
dangling in the air
days
and nights...

That's how the IDEA was born—
pushed out of womb by curiosity
and trapped in desolation of reason
unaided, wandering aimlessly
yet cautiously evading
the cliff edge
that led to the abyss of
unknown

(The poem was inspired by Paul Klee's painting "Twittering Machine".)
