Analysis of Intuition



Touch the overlaying pall. Feel the inky cloud
Touch the ugly urban sprawl
Feel the restive crowd.

See the writing on the wall. Look at the design.
See the warning in the scrawl
Look at the call sign

Listen to the shadow fall. Hear the daisy chain.
Listen to the serpent crawl
Hear the silent rain

Sniff aroma of the mall. Scent the reek of dearth.
Sniff redolence of the stall
Scent the fragrant earth
