Synapse

 


the opinions are debatable

the opportunities, relatable

opuses, untranslatable

 

many works make hands light

 

the essences are visible

the assonances, visceral

assurances, valuable

 

do tomorrow what today are put-offs

 

the technologies are indefatigable

the technicalities, manageable

tectonics, unfathomable

 

a stitch in time is a joy forever

 

the mornings are synapses

the meanings, perhapses

moanings, collapses

 

invention is the necessity of mother

 

the needs are elementary

the names, ultraordinary

notes, unnecessary

 

a smell by any other name would be rose

 

the concepts are containers

the suspects, entertainers

intercepts, no-brainers

 

a bird in the hand is worth a song untold

 

the outbursts are personal

the outings, natural

outlooks, universal

 

many a true word is spoken in anger

 

the expressions are prodigious

the experiments, indigenous

experiences, religious

 

the harder they fall the bigger the splash

 

the landscapes are supersonic

the soundscapes, symphonic

dreamscapes, chronic

 

a doctor a day keeps the apple away

 

the guests are elegant

the gooses, grandiloquent

ghosts, eloquent

 

never judge a book by its reviewer

 

the diaries are delirious

the dailies, weariness

deaths, serious

 

familiarity breeds content

 

the journeys are mystical

the journals, physical

jobs, statistical

 

variety is the life of spice

 

the constructions are sound

the instructions, round

destructions, found

 

a day was not built in rome

 

the clockworks are enviable

the fireworks, extinguishable

roadworks, interminable

 

don’t feed the hand that bites you

 

the industries are blameful

the machineries, unmindful

solarities, beautiful

 

strike while several irons are in the fire

 

the syllables are synchronous

the symbols, mountainous

sighs, fabulous

 

rolling moss gathers on the stone

 

the calculations are precise

the populations, outsize

regulations, revised

 

a thousand words is worth a picture
