Of Azure

a new original page along with a paragraph of new original surrealistic writing. The paragraph says: "electric fur of carbide-eyed cats in the twilight...as the minutes slide into the nitrogen shadows. Tornado of pigeons. Rain from water-towers of pastry, celestial crumbs nibbled by mercurial mice. Cigarettes of azure."

I have titled this post, "Of Azure". The phrase "carbide-eyed cats" refers to carbide lamps and headlights and so on, also called acetylene lamps (acetylene is derived from carbide). Carbide lights were often used in night-hunting, and probably still are. So the phrase "carbide-eyed cats" is not a Dadaist phrase, because it is a logical analogy. "Electric fur" refers to the fast movement of a cat, plus cat fur sometimes activates static electricity.
