Nostalgia (Tiaga) (6/15/11)


The tiger on palmtop was fierce indeed
As was the dog made dragon made man
And the story of two delinquents joining forces in arms
In the pursuit of doing what they can

What began as two lines, parallel and congruent
Ended in an open trapezoid
Via connection of vectors through the overly mundane
The trigonometry I usually avoid

Of aliens and ghosts, of masks and of faces
Of pursuit of an uncertain goal and dream
The tiger and the dragon, the fiercest of beasts
Neither is honestly to others as they seem

Yet if the gaze of the dragon and the strength of the tiger
Are naught by illusion and smoke
As were the words and wishes of the god of love
What emotion does this shape invoke
