it starts with the taste of salty soup

random weird words like hoity toity,

the splash crackle fizzzzz of ice dropped in lemonade.

a Whitney Houston lyric,

my dogs gentle snore,

the lawnmower's rippity rippity roppity roppity rooooooar. 

sounds you make with the air in your mouth,

(squelchysquishycrunchysounds)

swirling blues and pinks and browns

freezing stopping melting going south.

Buzzing like summer cicadas,

falling like winter snow,

Unrelated jumpy lines, connected flowy, fluffy rhymes --

brain flow.
