When I was an X, I became Y. When I was Y, I became Z.

"When I was a line I divided into parts. When I became parts I played a game. When I was a game I became everywhere. When I was everywhere I lost interest. When I lost interest I became light. When I was light I saw your face. When I was your face I saw mine. When I was my face I became a civilization. When I was a civilization I felt better. When I felt better I became my hands. When I was my hands I would breathe. When I would breathe I felt better. When I was better I would relax. When I would relax I would relax some more. When I became the question I became the answer."

Lists of Food and Animals

"I carved a yogurt spoon with a lobster sitting on a spaghetti moon. I made a blueberry blouse for a butterfly's party and their open house. I placed a honey hat on a big blue bat and a nougat knife with a poodle's wife. I saw an alligator on a toothpaste farm with a slurpee running all down his arm. I ran through mustard maze to see a strawberry sun with atomic glaze. I ran to my house to see... that a list of food and animals had all followed me."

Sunbeams

This one is sort of dark but fun to follow visually:

Serpents in the Sunbeams
Ladders in the Serpents
Words in the Ladders
That all begin to Chatter...
Waterdrops in the Words
Numbers in the Water
Serpents in the Sunbeams...
All coming Tomorrow.
