Puzzle and Box

all spelling errors are quite iontentional so building a refrainment apparatus for your down under sand

buzzards don't make love, bees just buzz
I saw grasshoppers making love on a corn stalk once..
it was amazing

we're immortalized like flys in amber
just waiting for the second light to come along

Damn ..! You got me checking ingredients this morning.
And I thought, 'just like my daughters mother'


puzzle and box--
this field is required...

i've been working the same puzzle
every day for weeks
i unravel and re-ravel and travel
and i never get any closer

in walks entropy with a nozzle and a string
entropy--
this field is required...
brain salad surgery--
optional

i got nothin
my head is spinning
sideways
given--too much energy
to asshats and doorknobs

Gave me a 20 dollar bill to andrew jackson
speaking of sideways...
I got that look
that blank nothin look
when I asked for his john hancock

he stole my asshat right before
he turned the doorknob
sideways

a quarter turn

I tried to call out.."I was just being absurd, haha"

an echo spills into the space of my heart
"ha ha ha
that's awesome"
i'm engaged in a battle of wits with the unarmed :)
they're about to run me out of the cafe on a rail

you're right sir. brilliance beaches itself like baleen whales on sandy shores.
something that scientist and humantarians can't figure out. lol

one day on the cafe there were pledges of decency. the next day virulence and even name calling
was the baleful stinking fish on my homepage. I'm so glad to see absurdiy
return as the baldachin fabric of an ancient object.

your ornamental structures john are embroidered with gold, and we need you sir.
need your originality.

forever humbled,
dana

when milk is involved, and you take apple cider vinegar for nausea, you will taste a rancid cookie gasping for air...You've gotta let jonah out so the new vinegar can have a clear path..a banana for the wall striations doesn't hurt either..I just learned all that just now, so I could write or sleep...for this I thank you, sir

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

knowledge is important however I can find it..it doesn't have to be real, it just has to be real

[sakshi arora]

What a wonderful write with generation of curiosity

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

why thank you..I do try to be/do that; I'm glad to have you appreciate it :)

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Had me in stitches, excellent read and write. You and Emily are the best...not sure who Dana is, will have to check out his/her work sometime.

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

dana is the featured review..emily rules..she's made my cafe experience amazing :) thank you

[Leslie Philibert]

what you do well is to combine the idea of a puzzle into this; this is ( for me) rather enigmatic, but this all adds to the charm, with speed and style this is a poem that I like,that works well

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

we managed to write a drama minus the drama, which is what i love about writing with Emily :)

[J_Star]

love the calling out of "I was just being absurd"--humor, the eternal diffuser.

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

I was hoping that was a good transition!

[Steven]

'an echo spills into the space of my heart'

great line. What would the world be without the absurd?

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

it would probly be boring

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

that might have been my fav line too

[Steven]

Yeah buddy!

That's because it's the best one ;)

[Emily B]
