DREAM CLASSROOM SHAMBLES
4 | 1 |
---|---|
Smell receptors evolving, chemically rich ocean; walk, swim, breathe, mad, stinky, happy |
Dream classroom shambles; educational officials observing; students slowly form circle tell feelings |
3 | 2 |
Rain washes smoky air; circle time circle - happy, stinky mad, stinky, happy |
Olfactory smell bulb next to limbic system feelings; air thick particulate matter |
OATMEAL STARTS MORNING
4 | 1 |
---|---|
Seaweed in feed decreases methane, cows' farts and burps, cooling digestive Earth |
Oatmeal starts morning on the table of the master of Science Fiction |
3 | 2 |
Oatmeal good for blood shakes my nighttime stomach, rough waves of roughage |
Eighteenth Century English Leveller tried eating only grass, grazing meadow; stomach rebelled |
HOMO NALEDI THREE
4 | 1 |
---|---|
Some remembering beings remember back to early noticings of other remembering beings |
Homo Naledi three hundred thousand years ago maybe buried dead drew lines |
3 | 2 |
Whale stress hormones ocean never was so noisy far songs never unhearable |
Even Tyrannosaurus Rex brain big enough for complex social Tyrannosaurus group life |
DREAM PARTY AGED
4 | 1 |
---|---|
Actress hard-boiled lesbian drug-world detective radiant smile t-shirt table arts high school |
Dream party aged banjo singer singing murder ballad songs old hope songs |
3 | 2 |
Resting ears outside thrash music set see parade violence interrupters reclaim street |
Fender bender traffic jam folk festival anger apology accepted fender bender solidarity |
