Image by James Valvis there's a couple of things that won't happen here 1. we won't see eye to eye 2. I won't accept my pseudo status my plans involve solely ruminating on a ghost identity - whether that's a fourth stomach, a hump, a corporate job or never dying of thirst like some black eyed fish in an embodiment of water, fur and linen - the essence of discomfort note the casual foot in pocket my only foible: humming hmm hmm hm hmm, hmm hmm hm hmm to clear my disassociated mind call me crazy - please I'm waiting for an excuse to spit in your eye wrestle you to the ground and gambol off maybe these eyes are marbles slipped into any socket they fit perhaps no one feels happy in their skin call me crazy - it feels the only way out

Dear dd, seriously i have no words! You are insanely good! Left me in awe and then i laughed as i read “ I'm waiting for an excuse to spit in your eye wrestle you to the ground and gambol off” i think this is so fitting for the picture prompt and your opening is just so creative and drew me right in like what even?! You have a very unique and innovative mindset and that is evident through your poems especially in your interpretations of picture prompts! I love the ending. I think i might be a bit cray too. Hah! Love this! Best wishes and a fave this is!

Lol I wanted to make it an unusual start, to be fair I ended up going off on tangent's and missing out some of my planned trajectories entirely, so I might have another go at this (it's a prompt for a contest elsewhere). I had a good read about Llama's and just imagined them struggling to fit in haha thanks for your support, always gratefully received :)

Well now I'm irritated, and kind of hate you for giving this painting a better backstory than what I managed. To be fair, I did first think it was a donkey so maybe all is as it should be.

Maybe we can both be annoyed when they declare the winner and it's about a mule :)
