The audio recording is set to the musical styling of Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch, with a special appearance by a lawnmower

crashing blue rain drowns gleaming gold sun shines liquid glass prism'd diving drop hold rainbows Russians call them mushroom rain flying blind witches care bear wardrobed to dance mambo fire eyed devil's whipping bee's knees wife's all countries tell wive's tales of sun showers holiday feast toll'n white hell's bells wedding witches slav'o'vr pancakes---churning butter siphon orphan brine from whore's dead children buried edge 'a the world, rewrite blood-lines

Plutarch' s poetic Greek mythology Praeparatio Evangelica in penned wanton Zeus mischievously plunks shocking prank to troll his wife Hera he's clouted & betrothed to wed Daedale an oak statue carved with Alalcomenes Hera turns death wraith, flying fire eyed rage lightning, thunder, flash flooding downpour swells seconds after the tempest fueled rampage Zeus showed his wood bride ending the dark tale

watching the sun beam---coal hued clouds spit down I turn blind to dark shadows---debutantes velvet green suit gold toothed leap'n leprechauns dancing rainbow colors tossing lucky charms highland twinkling faeries nap in chime clocks sun showers free my inner child red Chinese July fireworks flashy far-flung cloistered blink it lifts crushing grind sweat vanishes---speakeasy gin fizz Gatsby au-fait daydream framing the paradox
