New World Nomenclature

Today we see as we understand, patches of
medium orchid corduroy sewn to the elbows of the Universe
and neo-cliché hipsters (who meditate on thistle) drag the
haunting tense through planes of Cadmium Scarlett. All
this New World nomenclature, is miniature by scale (dust)
held against greater epochs, where spirits go, or disappear
less parochially. The patches were put there and gilded
by Espressos to assist in the reconcile between perennial semantics
and urgent metaphor.
