a half measure might just do
i'll leave another half in my wardrobe
and as i woo my crew to screw
one final bolt
into a temporal brain lobe
of my Scarecrow
a lightning strikes
and torches the straw
the joyful and eye-pleasing glow
it warms up the likes
of them of us
'cause it's so much fun
to watch the straw burn
things took a right turn
but the setting is wrong
what do you see
jupeter is large
but look at this cleft
it's engulfing with glee
these oceans of gas they discharge
into nothingness
unborn life bereft
but i am still left with another half measure
it is something to treasure
to lock in a safe
to take to the grave
a half measure should suffice
i just need to entice
to connect and engage
to enrage
i bathe in sunflowers
x-rays and deep waters
should i split it in two
and have two lovers
two quarters
two quarters should do

The patter of your soundplay adds a charming lilt to your emotional ambivalence. That's reality--very well done.
👍🙌 I take back what I said the other day Andrei! I don’t like ambiguity anymore bahaha. 😅🤣I read this three times and I still feel like a dummy. What do the Two quarters symbolise if you don’t mind me asking? The scarecrow is also positively frightening above! I played the music at the end? (It was very good). Was I meant to play it at the beginning? Best! 😁
Oooo, this was like a fever dream! So brilliant! I loved it!
