Emaciated test-tube mutations Raised apart in pristine distillations Conceived in dexedrine celebrations and the crazed, ecstatic inhalations of the professor’s choicest pheromones Right-angled, inverted, and star-spangled Drained and dangled till their nerves were jangled Nearly psychedelically strangled Quantumly, at a distance, entangled On celestially balanced microphones Their unproven kaleidoscope harmonics Haywire mk-ultra histrionics Phosphoric rhapsodical symphonics And their backward time-lapse polyphonics Transcribed on interstellar xylophones For homunculus scintillations Splintered, syncopated oscillations And desperate mute gesticulations No one beats those galactic sensations Our own mad-twin Splitzmodic Vibratones

emaciated test tube mutations are definitely surrealist, even horrifying if I think about them too much. What fabulous rhymes and tantalizing, unique vocabulary--a great contest contender. Wishing you a splendid evening, Sara

Thanks Sara. Yes, that one, was a little strange...some of it came to me when insomnia and I were having a back-and-forth battle, neither able to get the upper hand. I know you know about that. :-)
