Rolling on the laughing floor speak in tongues as ceiling roars Electric fingers from copperhead wrists butterbisquit crown on tufts of bliss Midair motes in a rodeo dance the frying pan waltz, ceiling fan prance Key to the seaweed, distillness of green angels bury faces in foamy serene Suet cruets pumping the fast and cruel voiding all portals, the gasping gruel Atmosphere of frog, purple tower rumbling the smiles for the grape, the miles for tumbling Ivory ladies with ivy lathes inscrutable cliffs, forested gaze Ancient catclawed pharoah furniture gold gleaming sweat of simian overture Carnival glass goldfish see music swim walls of water hold the sandbags in Clover torques the lusty summer mowerblade bees count the numbers Broken spokes in dharma wheels Dali jigs and Orson reels Sir Eel writhes with Fibonacci golden mean, hot and crunchy Parceled age rose many times to check upon the newborn signs The chamber's planes aren't laughing anymore I leave my room, and lock the door don't know if this is what you were looking for but it's what came out I never aimed at reality; I aimed at truth. --Orson Welles |

Good Lord, Man! This should have a warning for "acid" casualties, The images kept floodin' the brain pan, almost couldn't keep up! Ahhh. ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

 This is exactly the sort of strangeness I was looking for.My own mind is fermenting a poem to th' challenge -- it begins "Rolling on the laughing floor/Pressing face to crying glass/She burns like a flower within my chest" Or something like that... I'll work on it! She said burn ... together. |
