sharing the squareness of tonsorial designs
re-sectioned for their lonely apparatus deluge
remanded custodial furniture declamations
toward the shading of their sacred anomalies
their sanctimonious flare whenever there
made its absence known to abominable filers
and the clerks of their unwired circuitry
in any other sense bared the huge crate
before the silicon ganders wept, their effusion
delayed as hominid particles shred under review
or stanch the grating clamor renewing itself
with every shaking head forlorn beside it
shorn of pickerel mosaic legends, a view
slowly reaching for the slang of its velvet crux
in matters facing reluctant technology vapors
hanging fetid in the battered air, no sense grown
among the rabid hired electorate that bandied
its candied ballot earrings as truculent trinkets
as wherefore’s harbingers taste the scattered spoon
its gypsum thread turns moss at the very last
memories of the eaten before their bloody crucible
wastes the flavors of belated essence, favoring
in steadfast irony the breaded glitches that wastrels
spread across homilies that lag in their pursuit
of crowing seasons where egos harvest mirrors
that echo their land of aching platitude seizures
while dreading patches of thirst. They relay
their heads to crossed sandwiches, souls stapled
under toothpick wedges, dotting their chamomile
legends with jurors seeking out lurid displays
of dressing. Variables peruse the matter, climbing
taller scalpels for higher futures undercut
at a pencil’s tainted leisure. Wary old forceps
tweeze new births of old ideas incarnate
yet again, as forever, wasting their search for where.

along the torpid luminosity its bearing entails. No loop of forgotten
mustard rails its cyclic plumage here. The wrong scales shifted the
balance, tilted the weight. Its fancy remains plain as they. An argu-
ment stakes its freight on carrying the rhetoric of its own precocity. Or
the paradigm shift would go unlifted to its cradle, a basket of empty
arms to feed them. Wry coastals prosper in seeded regions. Ask any
prosperity adjudicator. The answer will always be. The same as any
other encounters itself. Never deny them the thrust of postal slippage.

continue streaming ad hoc pervasives past the nominative agendas
flagging the arrows of hot pursuit already passed into millennial
sorghum tatters, tainting the admixture with affirmative faction
partners dancing the tete-a-tete in lounges of the disunited. Closely-
run spectacles watch the dust lather surfacing individuation platters
that bear dry stocking remnants stalked as rather glaring tropes made
in the staid podiums where asterisks bloom. The squatting footnote
taught itself unquestioned answers endlessly qualified as resumes
bought after the facture anomaly quotient rescinded its pectoral
ambush of latter stages. The cargo implicit in its offshoot brushed the
ambulant cages tindered under torchlight finger ballads wearing
gloves. No greater love disbanded its tenebrous husks or flattered the
only side of its reciprocity dangled before thought could provoke its
latent self-offense badgering. No dark suit could brandish the yielding
statute storing the safe of its proclamation. Landfill anthems delayed
the passage of its right to thunder. Antique panthers shelled the trees
verbatim, or in hock up to their arrears. Where patient coronado
classics rendered the condiments jurassic, impatience wet the hospital
ferns, no hostility distended toward its pancreatic duties. Patriotic
songs of arrival greeted the nation’s proudest derivations, among them
the swollen anthem of silent lungs vanished on a fishing ambition.
Strafing the affect particles dampened the strategy vectors. An
unrelenting attrition guided the nucleus to conjoin indefinite particles
as parts of breach, a rhizome fallen short of branches. The news
blanched a steroid heroine who bounced definite articles off the back
seats of vacant vowel suppositories antlered in the rural confines. No
expedition could teach it. Each soot particle refrained its broken-
parted malady. Nobody would start the stanchion process without
joining the clubs in a grope effort. Invasive streaming martyr displays
reamed the somber catacomb factory outlets that outmembered the
same club in competitive fraternization mentoring. Adjunct confessors
spilled the lint. The monitoring procured a needed moment of exegesis
under the fading scalp lines. Congenial substitutions replayed artifact
conjecture wherever projections indicated a rotor of acceleration
during the plastic hemisphere waddle. Every secret pursued brought
back an unraveled redundancy, sexy as a used negligee convertible.
