[Upd-discuss] [RFC] The Lightning Tree : Act II Pi

[cyfarwydd]

[ Recap ]

The bearded brother
disturbed dreams of a lightening tree
crosses seas and lands upon spike island

Before dawn
knocks upon a perceptual door
and is welcomed by the occupant

Inside, the brother watches
a production code named Blow Up

There is an intermission ...

The occupant offers water
and leads the way outside

They come upon the lightening tree,
Half a tree, the lightening tree
 From the back, bare and knotty
The front, shoots and leaves

After a little faf
the occupant navigates to the front
and sings nonsense to awaken the buds

The sun now glistens in the east
The occupant begins to dance ...

The Dance of the Single Member
------------------------------

      "Another time ...

       In a far away land ...

       A king was gifted a telescope

         To navigate across sands and seas ...

         To search the stars and planets above
         To plot his destiny ...

         Little time passed,
         War came too fast
         The king turns the scope
         on to his subjects and me...

          'Who's that there ?!' exclaims the king

          'What is that ? ...

           A naked dancing single member ?!

           What a funny spectacle ...

           But, what is that object ?

           It grows firm
           and yet the member bends it !?

           Why ...

           It waves like a flag
           and then the member folds it ?!

           It towers to the sky,
           and then it twists
           I wonder why ?

           Now watch ...

           This is new ...

           This member is loopy-loo ...
           It turns it now on to itself ...
           To others it eschews ...

             Ow ...
             That must hurt, this is perverse
             Is it self love, or self harm
             Or just some trick of a snake charmer ...

             I must query, I must query'

      So,
      the king intrigued in time
      puts down his war comics, games and pop
      and instructs a liege to query me

          'Citizen ...' questions the liege

              'That's i' my reply
                         i turn to the liege
                         hands busy member bending

          'Hmm ...
           You have mighty tool' the liege concerned
                                 moves back a foot

              'Oh ...
               Fear not ...
               i'm not going to hit you with it ...'

      The liege manages a tiny smile

          'Quite ...

           Excuse me if this sounds crude,
           but using your vernacular ...

               It appears you're trying to faf yourself !?

               Is this true
               Is this true
               Is this true'

              'Quite ...' i reply

              'Why you bothered ?
               Am i scaring the poppose ?'

              'Not really ...' smiles the Liege

              'But the king wonders why
               And to be to honest so do I

                   Why do you faf with yourself so ?'

             'Well its like this ...' i reply

              For you i'll answer,
              since you asked ...

               Most things i faf with
               seem to get happier
               even the poppose ...

               So every now and then
               i try to faf myself

               You never know
               i could get lucky ...

              But to answer your king
              tell him this
              i answer to my queen'

The tree groans loudly
Its roots grasp the occupant
by the calfs

             "Ouch ...

            You back then ?

          Ouch, what you doing ?

        It's not me that's laughing !?"

"Why do you humor them so ?" barks the tree

          "Is bear bating verboten ?" answers the occupant

The lightening tree roots climb up the occupant
and squeeze

"Mammal !

  Do not
  Confuse me
  with a puritan !

  Or I will surely confuse you !" barks the tree
