My Insignificant Snack
Read letters to the left of the word (red) from "a" down to "y" then repeat for the word (blue)!
===========================================================
With very little knowing and harmless intention, a(red) s(blue)nack will tide me over til’ dinner
You should not be hasty, nor should you be satiety, my d(red)ad a(blue)dmits this and my
mouth should be thinner
The marketplace is full of u(red)nwrapped d(blue)elights, that will satisfy idol time in
boarding
Father also says my hunger deepens as my groomed dinner cheapens because I l(red)ay
i(blue)n hiding I’m hoarding
HE knows what I need and shuns what I want t(red)o s(blue)how what I deed to nuns what I
hant
Weep moans as I feed but none e(red)aten t(blue)hought Deep groans as I bleed
but none neaten fought
This snack could not, what I dreamt it would r(red)eally i(blue)nvoke commodious cover with
nothing a hoax
My Daddy was right should I vomit or choke should I promise to y(red)oke c(blue)an I
lawlessly coax
My daddy says NO, but HE still loves me, HE just says it, and then it is so
===========================================================
~This piece is drawn into true essence with the vacillating grouping of
letters; entities separated by colours red and blue (which are in parentheses because there
is no colour in this program). This will truly
endow the understanding of this piece when collected after the first
read and then at least two more readings as the ambiguity of chosen
terminology unfolds respectably even within the contents of each line.
