The Nymph Sees New Life

In her cocoon of giant veils She spectates the birth: bouncing baby galaxy

Put on your daily dream like a clear cat suit but first browse the mental meat locker while flipping through ancient virtual phonebooks and catalogs of karmic catastrophe yo best decide your daily worldly wish and which role you will act: Somnolent Spinster? Sacred Superhero? Simpleton Visionary? Verified Vagrant? Vilified Innocent? Once dressed your disguise safeguards previous identities and your soiled underthings remain invisible
