A New Poem

So old, so ugly, dirty too; malodor
Strangles me, I can neither breathe nor die;
Let me breathe in new air, new, fresh and virgin
Like the ripe mangoes hanging on the bough
Among the leaves touched not by any hungry bird;
Shakespeare, so ancient; Yeats, backdated;
Eliot, like a rotten corpse; oh, let me flee
To take refuge on a new land, new, fresh and virgin
Like the Island of Robinson Crusoe, even no footprints
Of the cannibals got found, but the grapes grow,
Wild goats run, birds sing, the waves of the ocean dance
Touching the shore day and night;
Let me introduce a new poem to the world
Never read, never seen, never heard anywhere,
That will open doors after doors,
New worlds will appear,
Seeing that people will say,
Hurrah! What a poem it is!
