On that undesignated afternoon, I watched you
walking about that fifteenth of the seventeen
known puddles that still remain on the face of the
earth. The ever-bloating sun's crimson light,
behind you as you seemed to stop, still as
debris, such that you seemed like a two dimensional
plane. On your sturdy tripod of legs, you
stooped down to gaze at the brackish water, its
slick surface tension reflected in your
four eyes, so busily occupied that both your
foreheads began to ache with that historic pain
called by the most ancient of ancients---migraine.
How in Haedus should I know what happened to the
moon? Perhaps it was snatched away toward the
ever swelling sun, engulfed like Mercry and Veen
was---visible one moment, then gone forever the
next. Perhaps it was lured toward Jupiter, which
always seems to hover on the verge of ignition.
Wipe the drool you delightedly drip from your
many mouths before it digusts me? Or do you
have those four hands only for the quadrupal
twiddle of your doubly jointed seven thumbs?

Completely mesmerized. I
Completely mesmerized.
I love poems that deliver entertainment and also make me dig deep with sensational imagery. This fantastical, witty and alluring voyage served it up beautifully as it transplanted me to a whimsical dystopia. What is better than that when you need a smile and a recharge?
There's so much to love here! Thanks for the much-needed amazement.
