M C Escher and His Art

giant worm infestation in my mind tonight climbing up, simultaneously climbing down engineering side rivaling artistic relief bubbly puffy grayscale creatures sectioned in rounded compartments their fat butts showing, striped and round climbing up and climbing down In two’s and three’s they make the fabricated climb lizard-like, but no, more rounded, more like worms with tails drawn by Escher fine, his artistry so precise, it sails…. Rounded doorways in grayscale walls, lead to nowhere fast. None of these creatures elongated or tall, their fate is clearly cast. They’ll parade around in my mind tonight when I should sleep. M.C. Escher, your mind was clearly out of sight; your legacy so deep. Climbing up, climbing down. I will dream of these worms around and round.
