A universe of jelly, a galaxy of sin
a tangled globe of neurons my thoughts are swirling in.
A cloud of swimming fire, a whirling mass of lust

'Be gentle when you touch the sky,
When night turns black and blue...
Especially where it's swollen red,

Creepy, crawly, teeny, Awesome! Tiny hero
playing ‘possum...
Rise, Sir! Slay this wicked blossom! Creepy, shiny,

Skullduggery
A universe of jelly, a galaxy of sin
a tangled globe of neurons my thoughts are swirling in.
A cloud of swimming fire, a whirling mass of lust
gelatinous and funny, a silly mass of dust.
A billion tiny thoughts, electrically synapsing
emotions, dreams and images alchemically reacting.
A cosmos made of jelly, a sparkling mass of light
a world completely empty, adrift upon the night.
Lee Price received the David Ray Poetry Award in 2001 for his poem 'A Steaming Cup of Jasmine Tea'. The poem was published in Potpourri: A Magazine of the Literary Arts 12, no.1 (2000) .
