Catamarans and cigarettes 
burn patiently at twilight, 
facing blue oblivion’s qualia 
with feathered neural undercoats 
of sparse exclusion wafer trim, 
splashed in extra vagaries 
of pomp and circumnavigation. 
Floral set piece reliquaries 
reflect on harbor noumena 
with crisply quantized stunt fanatics, 
gazing out to cornerstone asperity 
in purely histrionic maze relief, 
touting horny dial benders, 
bet to traced calligraphy 
of nodal craft elusion nibs. 
Soil secludes with overwhelming flavor 
sighs emerging from savory tortoise poles, 
wafting ashore to line-of-sight chronology’s 
pineal waveform, relapsed to donkey onus shills 
beneath a peculated pod of crumpets. 
Shelter passes far below in rancid siren 
beckonings of slave mechanic batteries, 
sheepishly redacting oxen gamete flipper lore 
from bayou’s brittle overwhelm in banded sag 
flesh sundry pear appearance set of propwash 
hagiography for dining crumb arrest essentials. 
Booths touch rusty crippler berries, 
leasing juicy seepage every time 
a numbered stylish cone falls silently 
in actual abscissa abscess overflow 
to prayer nook puffer fish excretion quaff, 
slimmed to unset periscope cakes. 
Impasse City Flutter
Glossy hovercraft imply simple amplification, 
waving pie charts at costly station ears, 
foundering in open airlock dump truck stings. 
Only sonic assonance applies for agricultural acquittal, 
ameliorating ambitious actuarial edginess with timid
squeals. 
Nations pout, entrusting inlet depilation mice 
to dapple ivory phyla into lusty chamomile predictors, 
spattering an enzymatic sneeze with cabin application
crushes.
Laughable carousers mitigate mitosis with wimpy wisps, 
washing wallpaper moths in posing blotter candy crepes, 
causing sobs in vacant shopping coilers. 
Stacked effacement tests you fairly off and on for 
cloudy hand-picked mortuary shell regurgitation gist, 
flecked with salty scenic gradients of flimsy noontime 
derrieres, told to burgeon elsewhere. 
Deeply infected luge pennants 
gradually defect to fourth-world pumping bars, 
prosecuting ethyl geysers under blue striated statues 
of arterial clay, barmy injection release, and 
uncommonly aspirated spin cycle kinks. 
Jealousy rarely airs its threadbare wedding tallow, 
calling fallow turbulence by empty shuttlecock 
remainder terms in fulminating angst, 
but jellied close-ups glom onto requiems 
for stooping littered parriers of pallet-bearing salad
spiels, 
improved upon in substring sequin showers of shouldered 
impasse city flutter. 
Dream Star Sundaes
Ransacked
 bumblebee hotels immerse an attic wail in sand, dyspeptic furriers 
deferred to queue-length bookstand marginalia retreat. Jagged 
accusations pickle pews in paper handiwork, limping past palimpsest skin
 canaries bound for mule team coal minorities of subterranean booths.
Beautifully
 sworn pestilence bemoans infernal highball terrace entry peas, fleeing 
for hired groins, kicked in quinine sisterhood by bandoliers of brothel 
coups. Disgraced inguinal statues funnel hissing power off deplaning 
convict carrion coats, lugging innuendos overhand to tipsy grief 
collection arias.
Tamed
 tigresses inter encumbered feudalism before middling sages con milled 
animals to exit stage cleft, cramping up in time for footholds to 
disintegrate in cauterized hysteria, billowing fine whines of plaintive 
aplomb.
A
 tap dance here, a fraudulent collie tarrying in loyal Quonset tundra 
lines, a sympathetic sampler fishing nervously off bluefin paraffin 
aisles, coping with shallow labrum tartuffery by entrance alley 
overhangs in severed blasting capstone armoires filled with bubbly; even
 the periodic emblem punctures our posing chillum with chili fog and 
Cornish ham genes, tasty to culled cetaceans aft of docile drainage 
tee-top maxima with senior hints of indigence and porous estate 
plundering, venting accrual semiannually per trepaned fin traction 
entrails nodding into standing water.
Dream
 star sundaes filter frowns to grimace gruel’s sedation piles of 
stillborn fugitives from jaundiced apple plies and viable surrender jets
 of solvent salutary knots. Choppers saddle manic cholera vacuums with 
calm tornado ocean liners, shopping for backspin.
