Wringing cloudbells pealing braingray, we huddle, buttoned, beneath bloombrellas, ruddy handles slick and slippering, grinning through this grainy rainday. galoshed legs galloping muddy puddles, bulletdrops battering scrunched tissue lilies, gasping nightcrawlies subtly crushed, survivalling on 'til scraped by morning's brush.

Stranger than "cloudbells" or "galoshed"? :)

Survivalling on is nice. No, it's right. I'd not edit this anymore as it seems to be sensibly nonsensicle. 9

I quite like all the daft words you use. It could almost be a nonsense poem or a surreal poem. Bloombrellas is my favourite

Thanks richa. Bloombrellas is my favorite too.

More fun than humans should be allowed to have. Miss you guys and gals like the dickens. Who invented that line anyway? Big numbers!

[n/a] Bill Z Bub › INTRANSIT 18-Jul-03/10:51 AM Reply

Yes, big numbers.
So where the hell are you now?
