Intelligent Design

She stands-
in the sitting room.

One eyebrow peaked-
her posture akimboed

and
I am suspended-
in a limbo of
my feng-shui-faux-pas
post-machismo placement

of my old, silly
wall posters.

They simply-
do not go
with her
art-nouveau-asian-inspired
eggplant infused
post-modern upholstered -
color
palette.


A life of language
scrawled on a closed attic door
now reads please come in.

I would like to nominate... brown paper bag girl

    And I like 'Forced Hot Water'

  2. Giggle! The combining of tastes. It sounds like you should follow hers. This was fun, I loved akimboed/machismo/nouveau running through. And like the person abov, your hyphened section were awesome.

  7. This is great! Like a time where I looked askance at my husband wanting to put Warhammer figurines in our formal bedroom bookcases. I love him, I gave in, and had trolls staring at me in the night! Very amusing!
