Taringa!

Put on your surrealist sunglasses
and see a world of tinted marvels.
Visions dancing in delightful dozens.
The transformation of the ordinary.

Ducks drown and cats bark.
Taxes and death are banished.
Donuts produce orgasmic quivers.
Snow White castrates the Prince.
Icebergs of bourbon float away.
Alice plummets up the rabbit hole.
Flamingos catch trains to Peoria.
Elephants forget their birthdays.
Politicians puke ponderous hairballs.
Only the executed are truly free.

Everything exactly as it might be.
Nothing must be only what it seems.
Look through the glasses and see.
Flocks of flapping, laughing dreams.

The squirrels have lost their nuts. Sad…
