Fancy That

I'm sipping on a couch-boat in
Van Gogh-painted water.

Bill Evans is dueting his blue-kind 
keys with my jolly time ticker.

When my eyes are shut, I think two-dimensional.
I think onomatopoeic.

Fancy that.

Afterall, my generation combines words like
"emotion" and "icon".  My generation puts

society on a screen...

Ah, but I suppose the 
next will convert the universe into binary, 

and leave me behind
with my coffee, and jazz.
