Symbolically Speaking

Cat's eyes glow in concrete their wings are orange and green best seen in low light conditions. Organ pipes are often integral with large holy edifices, yet they foot-pedal like any unicycle; some can be surgically removed. Man must drink to live, but by law women get the first glass of wine. People who mix together become odd, a world of odd things spins on the tip of a needle, a fine point that is said to thread a seamless sameness; these symbolic needle-workings are also too diaphanous to be seen by the naked skin.
