Dude, you got that quantum collapse, coital imagin-uptus thing going on again here. Very effective…. makes me want to go write a whole draining poem.

I guess if you think about it, most of the crucial human drives are covered by that..

I love that word anticipation… I absolutely love it. Most especially thanks to Dr Frank N Furter (makes me drool just thinking about it)
but now I have even more reason to. Yay!

You once again make words dance as they leave my mouth,
anticipation to accelebration to dissolution
in a classy little tango.

Very good. It plays with words and concepts equally well. Excellent game…

Now, who’s next in the magazine? La Lunatique,

Very observant… lots of previous nouns have been ‘magically’ transformed into verbs in the last 10 years or so. I’ve always attributed it to laziness and/or lack of traditional English skills, but after reading this, maybe I need to re-assess. I like this a lot, Paul.
