A NAME TUCK
to broil attraction
could blister
threshold multiples.
As penthouse
convening diced
numb strut
homicide. Tusk
letter, axle to an
angel's curt dress,
braps lotto homily.
Staved off adjacent
complaint of aporia
debris branching
over & into strict
praxis garrets.
Carom thickens.
Still studying what
eggs advise. He
felt complacent to
wrong the colleen
who threshes polo
posse from
congealed
transfusion, street.

DENTED REPRISE II
She's a
muscular void,
a discrete, intractable ditty.
A tether of drizzled pearls
paste a gel on me
and pee on my pride;
I’d spree on your slide.
This is no season
to subdivide.
We plot to spay the bruise if we
wanna fling taboos.
Angel prose, it don't appease thee.
Clear students,
open up your skies.
You don't have
to scribble highbrow recipes.
"A Name
Tuck": Aporia debris might prove
useful in retarding or zapping the flight of violent opportunisms.
"Dented Reprise II": If you don't remember the tunes from the sixties that have been
riffed off of, it's OK just to know that ghosts are within each phrase, line,
or sentence.
