Response to: Garden of Earthly Delights, a painting by Hieronymus Bosch

As I sit
in the dark, sea-green pool of wonder
I try to relax
But it is difficult, considering
that naked nymphs are running
around my head and men are riding pigs.
I sigh a pitiful sigh.
I cannot think with these distractions.
I trudge to my blue, cloud forest home,
with brass horns jutting out every which way
I pull on my favorite cozy robe.
I'm happy to be clothed.
Those naked people have no idea what they're missing.
