As the drunk teacher was saying:
The hum of the computer
Was a common feature
In 5 BC one student
Was looking up:
Anachronism
Not over-delicately
but matter-of-factly –
because he’d appreciate knowing
And so, he wondered
when he had become
an ‘anachronism’
And what else, of course
he hadn't known
Guitar

Lute
Is the flowing rushing in...or,
is the flowing rushing out?
Are we returning to where it all begins,
or is it the consequence of doubt,
if an altered state is out of place
positioning one in the wrong period,
false impressions may debase
sequential are the myriad...
They say,lie with dogs you get their fleas,
it's not the dog you should be concerned...
you never know,
what kind of disease lies within' the flea.

(the flea is a metaphor for attitude and impressions)
Yarns are swerving right now,
as sadly as a fall coat of leaves
It's crimson for a split second,
sending cures from the last zest.
the shade then fades to yellow,
I wish I could be so buoyant and upbeat.
as if it haunts an anachronism,
the glow dims to an amber hue.
thusly, like the acrid tangy taste.
my heart kindles a jauntier tomorrow.
