Synthetic Boulevard

 
 
Cobble-stoned concrete.
 
Painted partition
disguise
leathered curves.
 
Alabaster fingertips
relinquish
fumes of  somberness.
 
Anticipating speed
in char-coaled surrealism.

    [Painted partition
    disguise
    leathered curves.

    Alabaster fingertips
    relinquish
    fumes of somberness.

    Anticipating speed
    in char-coaled surrealism.]

    What i've seemed to notice about your work is that you are very good at the contests which involve only using a limited amount of words, yet still you manage to write it so beautifully, and word it wonderfully. I love your work.
