Imagination

Imagine ! Engineering a Surreal Eden. To grow a mountain, imagination right? In, an old jam jar, yeh right! Of clean soil, Soil! Isn’t that soiled? Such a seed could be, soiled and would be exclusive; Perhaps part time growing in window box? May save the roof? No rain mind, just a tarry dim sun. Breezed by a filthy wind ; alone! In its eroded scraggy day, while expanding, a different slice of the colour green. Pushed skywards, it all looks the same! What about Apples and Snakes? and our engineered countryside, of plastic and glass, filling allotments. With mirrors for the gods! And soured bogs. Eyes only open at jar breaking time And – the mountain? We shall keep it! Under the bed, so it can’t be seen. .

Thank you, came about from sitting on a mountain, and a sprinkle of “ tongue in cheek” thoughts on a local community.

Very interesting piece of writing, John. The last two lines were particularly intriguing for me.
