Synthesis of a Membrane

The black and white glory
of hands when we put them
inside water is pathological.
That is why even God hammered
stones into an epiphany.

Underline all the garden eggs you see.
X+Y+Z= Oology of an owl caught in a
rainstorm.
How it predicts the course of a salted G
till it turns into a flat sidewalk.

I wonder how elastic will your
breath be if I pull it out of you.
Will it be able to twist itself into a
shivering coffee brood.

Example #1 art dooms art.
