Ovals and Other Besmirched Things MAG
February 26, 2014
Thirty-three sunflowers danced with an
elephant in the dusks of Africa with
amazing gusts of wind and the fascination of: a triangle.
Hello my colorful, wonderful friends, I am light blue king of the trends, I am in the sky, hair dye, and fruit fly.
Although I can be excessively, utterly,
crazily, shy.
Behold, amazing is the oval
Not angular but mellow, an evolved circle.
A questionable gift like a snowflake
or rubble
An underrated shape like a line or a circle
An underused talent like a door or some purple
Or a misunderstood personality, like myself or a person in trouble.
I am a hyena, laughing at my predators, howling at my prey,
I stalk the streets and
YELL
what I say.
