Two Bowls of Milk

Are two bowls of milk. They are round
and white and have nothing to do

with the moon. They have no implications
of blindness, or sight. They wait

on the doorstep like bowls
or like things that closely resemble

bowls in their stillness. The bowls do not
foreshadow cats. There are two

because two hands set them out
and each wanted to hold something.

Milk because not water. The curve of
milk against the curve of bowl.

Hmm...is there a subtext I'm missing? It's poetical, but unless I'm just missing some symbolism, it seems rather pointless? Enlighten me?

Very postmodern, I love how telling someone to not think is the best way to get someone to think. yay psychobabble.
