Elsewhere Atop Trapezoidal Mounds… Lyrics

Yellow sylvan's darkness

Trial and error

The human jukebox and LED chess

Sepiatone lucid greenness

And many sidewalks leading anywhere

Like those bounteous groves of hickory and poplar

Telescopes and the roundtable talks

The sideways stairs and the crabapple amphitheater

Someplace over the hillock

With circumstance and consequences pressing down and bearing forth

Whimsical imagery of the dreamlike shimmers

And feelings of substantive journeys throughout environments of color and light

In flora-encapsulated lodgings atop trapezoidal mounds

Elsewhere, on the chair, the self-promoting raptor-anthropoid is working

And peers through the forested valley riddled with sandstone boulders

With scarabs and candelabra

The tall armoires and wyvern

And red vacuums in patchy grass

I egressed downwards, into the relatively well-preserved disc-shaped bureaus

All was dark—all artifacts exhumed

I idled there with armor and visor

With some solace for several moments

And peered through the horizontal capsule window that defined the exterior

Out into the rolling moors of the gnarled, ginormous squash
