Transaurius

Transaurius Divined from a thousand novellas On the cusp of hallucination Somewhere between the monastery and the circus......... Devoid of any specious goodness Deficient in any and all pragma Having escaped from several weddings One if by name, two if by shame Resonant with the nerdy few Attuned to the hum of the earth With seaweed clinging to my reptilian shanks Moss gathers along my molars and bicuspids Approaching the waterfall, Touched by the call to reproduce Without my briefcase, no magic carpet will appear Without my pitchfork, the world is less safe Excluded for being too unorthodox Spending more and more time around the zoo Asked to pose next to an oversized geological time chart Bats don't bite and the bees won't sting Trolling the outskirts of suburbia Spawned from a burst of lightning and phosphorus Mutation has taken my horns and hiss Evolution returns my tail Altered forever by all that I've heard Sunlight glistens off my scales and spikes Reading from the book of Commune, " Frequency, resonance, abnormality, yin trumps yang, clocks spin backwards, Hocus Pocus " Mentioned in both the Odyssey and the Mahabarata I gave peter piper his first sack of peppers I walked along side johnny appleseed Because of me, the woman in question had to live in a Shoe Facing north, nostrils flaring and ears twitching Detecting a myriad of scents in the breeze Activating 120 million years of submerged memories No doubt, three brains are better than one Poking my head through the bramble bush Surveying the warm tundra and waiting livestock Bon appetite.......... Due to sharing the same acreage with both the illiterate throngs and the alcoholic hordes, a purification ritual is in order Twilight arrives, all instruments are in ready in place.
