This strange new world
All fire and fight
This tangible enigma
All sickeningly bright
This explosion of culture
All complex and confused
This dream’s interpretation
Too bright to be drugs
Too crisp to be thought
Too static to be real
Too black to be dead
Too divine to be felt
Too good to be true
Too abstract to be caught
I think….

A Circus Of Words
Too bright to be drugs
Too crisp to be thought
Too static to be real
Too black to be dead
Too divine to be felt
Too good to be true
Too abstract to be caughthere i felt as if i had been captured again under Barnum and Bailey's Big Top and i was being prodded for the show by an overanimated ringmaster. spoken out loud, it communicates the perfect lead in for a circus of pandemonium and i stand ready waiting for the show on edge of seat contemplating what precisely it is that, you think...
ps: i had good sense to go and take a look at the contest page after i observed the written manifestation and it is perfect for that image. a ramshackle collage of color (or words) working to pull together abstraction.
