ambiencellistLook(FFEBCD)Look, I'm sorry, I know it's beige.
It'll warm if you have time to gaze.
Think of it more as a blanchedalmond,
Changing in hue with the light.
Try it now, up in hyperspace,
There's always the power given in backspace.
Trust the strength in it’s own understatement,
It'll sit with the line of sight.
This selection is straight from the database.
Fitting the dial and perfect in shortwave.
Alternative to the delicate hue
Is the thought that it will bring calm.
Giving out some gentle bright,
A glow that is good for the payment.
Try the work yourself at...

ambiencellistMurdering The TimeGuessed the riddle yet?
Haven't the slightest idea
Better with the time
Twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Tea-tray in the sky.
Murdering the time!
Always six o'clock now
It's always tea-time.

Stop the run, take a seat, watch the show.
This is not the end, not by a long sight.
On time! I thought I could sink old lace.
It ran through my brain as a navajowhite.
Watching the memory hit the knowledge base
Was like witnessing a car hit a wall.
Stemming the flow was key to the trace,
Checking the system for a sprite in flight.
Finding the byte that was out of place,
Enabled that illusive conference call.
Here I am, in the this imaginary place.
Watching, measuring, with geometric pace.
This is the moment with...
