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 love that word anticipation… I absolutely love it. Most especially thanks to Dr Frank N Furter (makes me drool just thinking about it)

You once again make words dance as they leave my mouth,

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

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.
