Blue fuses recuse muses
for how can the critical link
connect anyone to anything
so haphazard and whimsical
as poems and songs and books;
Red harps sharpen warps
when former trees get in a twist
it's crimson music that generates
the sense of never the same again
until decay makes everything forget
Static objects object to reflection denial
given how anthropomorphic inanimate contaminants
enter the metaphoric space one at a time
to show that concepts can breathe
as if their lungs were strung with more than words
Purple propositions give preposition to position
as next to as above as beneath
unsheathed pencils sketch wretches
holding satchels and smiling
under false grimes of defeat
