Are Meanings Necessary?

The epitome of irrelevance,

What is it?

A sinister bumblebee?

Crystalline daylight?

Isn’t anything made-up irrelevant?

Serendipitous madness,

Murmuring gladness.

What is a human

Made out of cumin?

What is irrelevant are the meanings,

People believe each word is an imposter,

For something bigger

Hidden behind big words and rhymes.

Meant to sound important and meaningful.

But they mean nothing more than

A Dorian elephant,

A grassy tryst.

If I we’re reading the works of a renowned poet

Or even anyone who seemed confident in what they were writing

I’d think the nonsense had a deep

Unspoken meaning.

It’s okay for a poem to have words put together like

Mysterious Singaporean

Maybelline lassie

Bumping locks.

We’re all just human,

No poet needs to write with meaning.

A poem can mean nothing less than funny words,

Put together onto paper.

They can even be as meaningless as a

Veggie tragedy.
