What next?

[Indel Icate]

What happened when The Rainbow occurred is that there was an
electromagnetic, thrust, how would you say, a discharge, or a charge,
wherein for a time ants scampered delicately out of the frozen burning
ground multicolored and flaming, and cut leaves that were red, and violet,
and off-hue blue, glowing.

I was born when that beast was brought fully into this warped worled, and
thus I too, am a product of the impossible turning of timespace that was
the 1960s.
