Kandinsky- Composition




Why the circle and
Planetary orbits must
Equal a yellow triangle,
I just do not understand.

Why the single chopstick
Balances three psychedelic onion
Rings is an equal mystery.
And does it, anyway,
‘almost’ equal the yellow
Triangle, and when will
The baby blue dot return
To its mother, a nucleus,
Single-cell, letting in
(or pushing out?) the orange
Oddly-shaped spermatozoid?

Yes, the chopsticks will
Form their informal triangle
And point to the centre,
Splaying their exotic legs
(It seems to me) and
Contradicting the freemason’s
Measure, whose legs must not
Ever be splayed, please.

Yes, it is a plate of food,
A dish to set before a
Colour-blind King –
The blackened steak with
Two-tone fat
Having a chat with Euclid.
