self-entitled

[grannyjill]

I am a liar
a dry lizard on chlorophyll
such a prize in the crowd
of vegetables swaying
in sync with the monotonous breeze...

I blow a grin at them
tone tuned to
their laudatory laughter
emitting an eponymous tome
of pure fiction

Original

I am a liar
a dry lizard on chlorophyll
lost in a crowd of vegetables
swaying in sync

tone tuned to
laudatory laughter
for an eponymous tome
of pure fiction

I was getting very fond of this little verse I've read it so often...now it's changed I'm going to see if that still is the case...damn...I can't read it, added bits keep getting in my way...truly. I can't say whether the new version is better or not - it probably is, but it's like finding a well-known phrase or saying written differently - it would take a while to get used to.

...I don't think it is possible to 'emit' an eponymous tome, though
