The Treachery of Images
The Treachery of Images
The sun is a cymbal.A cat is a bear.
An accordion is a frosted cupcake.
A gargoyle is a steering wheel.
The barber is a valley.
A tulip is a black and white film.
Architecture is a mustard sandwich.
A wild turkey is a forest.
The director is a fur sweater.
A mansion is a savage gown.
The guard is catnip.
A mink is a caveat.
The pipe is a magnolia tree.
The magnolia tree is a blanket.
The blanket is a flamingo.
The flamingo is a beach mat.
The beach mat is a soldier.
The soldier is a tangerine.
The tangerine is a villa.
The villa is a pony.
The pony is a peony growing
near an abandoned tool shed.
