Once Aboard the Desert Submarine

once aboard the desert submarine anchored by the golden sundial outlandish and phosphorescent we crossed the greatness of many drowned landscapes fluxes of algae and shrewish freesias cloistering up dans le château à la lune where the ragman’s lantern announces the arrival of the fearful butter knight he’s tattered and salted the endangered specimen straight from the cabinet of Walter Potter the missing piece of a lifeless diorama the granite giant of bronze ages walking at the speed of light he’s an itinerant vendor and with his grand dexterity he’ll get us before we summon the witnesses his crime forgotten his crime simply victimless once aboard the desert submarine we’re outlandish and phosphorescent and we’ll have our moon Halloween and honeymoon of adolescence
