Five times two hours plus one By monster spank Every element random, except one. Instead of seven, there was only five. Arriving at the chosen destination without a map, lunch came first. Surrounded by only old things and left alone to wander, it began. The first garden sighted, a flowing fountain protected by a breeze. In the fountain, a turtle! Through an ancient door, all entered. On the walls, more paintings of people long dead. Behind the glass cases, countless curiosities. Three black tickets, three tiny plastic cups of iced tea. One blue stub, biscuits! The second sighting, a marvelous garden. In the garden, a more intricate fountain. In the fountain, fish! On the aged adobe stones, hungry doves! Surrounding all of these, other wondrous configurations. Watching over everything, a massive facade. (The old brick, witness to wars and other things.) To remember, two necklaces made of wood. Coffee with frothed milk and almonds, latte. Cigarettes smoldering under the umbrella, rain fell from the sky. Bumper to bumper, the journey home. A shaved eyebrow, paid back with straightened hair. Gathering one last time, food was shared. Content, satisfied. Imagining, pretending. Except one, every element random. :: Posted on: Tue, Aug 2 2005 2:17 AM
