nonsensanalysis

sometimes I just want to write nonsense
like "the soda capsules pop twice daily/when riding a run of nylon"
there's something oddly comforting about that
it has nothing to do with sense
nothing to do with work
it is its' own separate animal
"a lion separates zoos with a postal pick pocket"
oh yes.  and there's something satisfying about too much alliteration
it's like you can't use too much of a good thing, or good becomes bad
but what about "the corner store locks its' fridge at midnight"
well that assumes some direction, some possible following verse like
"abby turned the other way and frowned at its' contents"
which makes you wonder
did abby look into the fridge before midnight and was offended by its' contents?
or is it something else?  it's really rather vague
but does it matter?
sure it matters, if you care about it
it's not so much the nonsense that I care about
as it is wanting my mind to take a vacation at the end of a long work day
nonsense is just the medium for doing so
if I say "the brick bat hit the cataract to see if it could grab a ball"
it begs the question what is that line trying to do?
how should I read into that
the answer is
don't
just close your eyes and take in whatever you like
you'll feel better that way
