Surreal Estate

In the twilight, in the twilight, overcasting shadow mountains,
Stands a dreamy come-and-see-me at the banks of frozen fountains.
In the hindsight of the blindlight, overhanging solid waters,
Captain Daniel's Cocker Spaniels let aloose by snapping cotters.

In the twilight, through a skylight, overlooking lacking eyelids,
Hangs a behave tidal brainwave going to the cracking highbids.
From the highlight, is the mind right in the hands of aging potters,
Hands a dreamy come-and-see-me gave unto the plodding plotters.
