Picture
"In Neuromancer, William Gibson writes, 'The sky about the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.'  Try to create a description - as evocative as the one above - about the current sky."

TAKE 1
It's black.
(Hee hee!)

TAKE 2
I cannot see the sky.  Or not all of it.  Or not the authentic it.  Before the black is a multiplicity of grids of metal and glass, keeping us separate.

TAKE 3
You know flamingoes?  And turquoise (the stone).  I could just say turquoise the colour, but I'm trying to be creative, and also precise.  Those who know the stone will know the colour I am referring to.  (Those who don't - Google it: 'turquoise; stone'.)  

Anyway, put the stone and the flamingoes in a blender.  And soy milk.  Don't fully mix - leave it the texture of brownie before you bake it.  That was the sky two nights ago.
