Contradictions

For insomniacs, sleep is 
A prayer.
In the kingdom of the blind
Vision is illegal.

A romantic poet in the
Long line of hangmen was
Honored with a noose
Made out of silk.

The goat that escaped
From the butcher shop
Became a mystical lord 
For a while..

So the devil started 
Punishing the bad men.

They were being punished 
With stolen plotlines
From Murakami's novel
For being too good.
