CHAOS for SALE


Chaos for sale!

Chaos for sale,

Or have it free of no avail!

Buy one qualm and get one free.

A pint of fear drinks easily!

 

Pin on a tail.

Fins on a whale.

One for an ass,

n' the other set sail...

But tell me sir can you be sure

of which one's which if all's a blur?

 

"These things we know for we were told,

by wiser men and women old.

But not once did we question thus--

so now we are as clay... and dust."

Yeti Noone

poet, mystic. Wrote it but somehow... missed it. Dark prose is somewhat of an artform of mine. Each portrait is akin to a dark meditation on the human condition/consciousness or lack thereof.
