in league with the randomizer


Inconsequential jitney
in beige
the color of the universe
trucks the homeless
the gnomebound derelicts
growing gnarly goats
wicked beardos in egress
including infallible arsenals
of pique.
Linear pathos
detonates, driven by
the prince of lies
a galaxy of isms fall
into quagmires of heaps
in itinerant journeys
like infinite journeys
beyond known space
parallel circular a snake
eating its tail
that's futilistic that is the
advertisement,
placquered
thrifty road bound flying
skyward abets and falls
off the radar
eventually to a place
so near
yet infallibly unbeknownst
and crimson,
a universe
of a different color.

Wait a second... I thought someone was busy being banal.

Where the heck are the Emperor Penguins???

Tom said...

Emperor Penguins already have their own TV show--they are famous, just like cavemen.

I have decided (heh) you need to move to the country. You need to wear bush jackets and walk in the forest. You need those infinite greens, the startling throated red of some unnamed bird. You need to hear your pulse in your ears. Yup. That'd just about do it.

Too much beige.

I do believe whoever said the beige bit got it wrong. Or needed to live in the bush, as well. Pack mosquito repellant! Oh, and an axe.

I am in a decided battle against beige!

let us all cast the beige in our lives, out, out, out, and swim in the colour of unknowns and the abundant curious.

I'm never beige . . baby poo brown sometimes but never beige. Your musings are never beige either.
