Synesthesia Overload
Prompt

Senses are overwhelmed, short-circuits firing
Mixing of signals becoming much graver
Abnormal cortex in need of rewiring

Deafening colors and audible flavors
Smell of the new mown grass cubic and yellow
Grip on reality starting to waver

Music in A-minor feels like warm jello
Words with the letter 'k' instigate sneezing
Pastrami sandwiches sound like a cello

Sleep brings no respite, no waning, no easing
Sanity crumbling, you struggle and grapple
Close your eyes, take deep breaths, think something pleasing

Salt sunbeams, shining through whistling trees, dapple
Memories ripple by, tasting of apple


Form: "Terza Rima SonnetOpen in new Window. with dactylic quadrameter (or possibly tetrameter) catalectic metre *Shock2* (Tum ti ti tum ti ti tum ti ti tum ti *Bigsmile*)
Lines: 14
