A Kaleidoscopic Dreamscape The cat shakes off bits of jacaranda in fear of becoming prey to the purple feline eater Meanwhile a magician pulls cubic zirconia from a green velvet hat Lavender blossoms carpet the asphalt road Traces of amethyst shine in the eyes of the chivalrous whose apples fall skyward who prefer meringue to lemon filling cats over dogs dressed as old jukebox favorite songs devoid of gray exuberance © 2022 Jackie Chou
