<p>I am cactus without flower,<br />
camel without hump, oasis<br />
without water. I am absence<br />
of wishes and desire<br />
to wander deeper into monotonous<br />
dunes. I am independent<br />
grain, drifting in wind, hoping<br />
I will find friction, fuse<br />
into reflective solid, shine<br />
as blue of my eye becomes mirror<br />
to anonymous seekers of the world.</p>

<p>is clearly an ACME creation, arrived<br />
in pieces, with manual translatable to coyote.<br />
Three cliffs with tenuous ledges and a canyon<br />
trail clicked. Tab A’s into slot B’s completed<br />
ideal spot for high-speed avian ambush.<br />
Warning! Elevation: dangerous.<br />
The vertical rise distorts perspective,<br />
makes targeting alignment calculations skew.<br />
The configuration does not allow for wind<br />
effects or added weight of steel extras. One<br />
pressure change, a few too many Beep Beep’s,<br />
and Poof! you are the road-kill sandwich.<br />
Accordion bodied, arms and legs all that remains<br />
visible.</p>
