your dreams a mystery of graphing flares.
of course you could fix it simply enough:
"your dreams are mysteries of graphing flares"
but it would alter the meaning slightly.
Now that I am loitering in your thread, it occurs to me how interesting the concept of machines graphing the mysteries of a newborne's dreams is. You probably won't have time or inclination, but:
" . . . machines to graph the mysteries of your dreams"
ahh . . . that would be nice.
oh, and one more minor thing, yes, toes as an abacus is brilliant but abacus and fuss isn't a proper rhyme.
