[Insert some profound insight of your own here ]

Someone used a polo shirt and paint to tourniquet this tree. Out of the frame are hand-prints in the same red over the graffiti murals.

Word to the Wise I: If your keyboard should become damp by any means, be aware that keys warp at surprisingly low temperatures and pop off under an injudicious use of hairdryer. Not that I would know anything about that (whistling) I’ve just heard on the grapevine you understand.

Word to the Wise II: Absentmindedly popping chocolate-coated coffee beans by the handful like they’re smarties…um….you might want to avoid doing that too.

Glad Game: Glad to feel the morning stretch, the softness of hair in the morning after falling asleep with it wet from the shower.

Word Chain: siphon undeciphered dense dawning tense tensile strength, lip’s dulcet pulse, pursed lips, tense cheeks of intelligence, (dimples where angels kissed deepening,) emergency, emerging gents, a peck on the nose, tingling, ginseng, gin’s song, Jamaican ginger beer, light-stepping gingerly amid throng, full stop. sciatica taut pluck, nerves harp, lift to harpsichord and larks, discord disregarded, soothe the rage of the beast, fall asleep to the wolfsong of human heart thrum.
