*3 : to become active or violent especially suddenly : erupt


Flowers irrupt uncontrollably, throwing out streaming tendrils, and sharp bright colours. It is like the centre of a giant magma field, hot streams coming at me from all directions. I daren't touch anything lest it burn me. The sun is crisp, sharp rays beaming down on me, as though a child were directing them right on me with a giant magnifying glass. I think I might explode too, like those flowers, releasing out toxic perfumes into the atmosphere.
On the other side of the street a small lady is forcing her dog to take a shit, hoping it will combat all these intense euphoric pleasures. I duck under an awning hoping for some respite. Three dangling baskets of flowers attack me from the rear. They are insatiable.
