Stealing an idea

[batyatoon]

or possibly memeing, or something -- from a thing tinuviel8994 did just over a year ago, here:

Comment with a poetic yet random observation of the world around you. Surrealism equals yes. Sense equals optional.

Depending on factors such as time, feeling-like-it, and inspiration or lack thereof, I'll reply to your comment with a similarly poetic and random observation. Depending on those same factors, you can reply to mine or somebody else's, and the cycle self-perpetuates.

Have at.

Mallo-Cup money once purchased joy,
But inflation's a menace. Fifty cents
Won't go as far as it used to;
What is this, 1954? No.

I save imaginary pennies and dimes anyway.
Once I found a dollar. Frugality, even in meaningless money
Is not to be frowned upon;
What do you have to lose? Nothing.

Must Save Five Hundred Points.
Send For Your Prize Catalog. I wanted the Magic Hovercar
Earning the Envy of All My Friends;
Sea-Monkeys? Fuck it.

It's always been like this.
Prizewinning bottlecaps and mail order dreams. Saving my tokens
Means saving the person I was and my hopes;
What dreams will I purchase? Something profligate.

Hope's inscribed in coded blue. Buy X-ray specs and see it.

I saved one copper leaf after another all autumn, but never collected enough to buy one crocus.
