Chimera's Synonyms

The speckled snake is slain
a legion of rats roared like the raging sea,
the cat kept licking the milk, I looked at the ghost.
Fish-reeking twists began to furl
The moonlight smiled,
but the rope did not budge,
and the post stood erect. Bearded fakirs thronged the ether to prepare a midnight cascade,
the blades of the blind ceiling fan
failed to cut to pieces the dodging bat.
Time ran away from now
to here, where reason
trod on a thin fence of being.
