What Is It Good For?

[malloryblythe]

Ornate globs of tie-dye bullets
blithely smoked in crimson quays.
Stirring slowly she screamed for mercy
and smartly yearned for better ways.

For kindness comes at stranger moments
historical memory dreamt anew.
Glowing fervently in napalm sweatshirts
mythic tableaux in stolen glue.

THE BEST BOT.

So glad to see it again! I think everyone only gets one because I've tried to get it to show up but have been unsuccessful. It is, without question, the best bot.

Thank you! Getting a little better every day... It sounds like a nonsense poem but it actually does have a subject. I have no idea how transparent that is or if it’s only decipherable in my head but maybe I can poll my friends and see if any of them understand it at all.
