"Figuratively descriptive" or "descriptively figurative"?


HYPOTHETICAL INTELLIGENCE

You can teach a hen to answer the
telephone, but you can't fake an egg
or catch a pocket on your tongue and
wait until it rains to wash your hair.
I would still go to sleep if I
shrank to the size of a pea: that's
what screwdrivers do. I mean, who wants to eat
spaghetti off an ax or carry foxes
in quart baskets until their arms melt into unfamiliar mushrooms?
Irony is breathing miasma to tolerate balloons. Go back to
dragging your snowflakes like a tail across my teeth. This
exercise has answered that very same question.
