pistol dowry turns below a cappella
to transport their surplus radial tint
no cleaver left to ply the massage
from portage to latitudes recumbent
where numbers shred their stamp
or grasp the terminal rotary turnstile
trafficking deadly fashion statements
worn in need of long dress platitudes
streaking rummage no gown can apply
leverage statements leaking privilege
through the limbic renaissance creation
breeding origins silicon detectors
worn enchilada sweepstakes in need
hinting deportation flowing empty
nectar button transits loudly deplore
the dead nostalgia vessel portraits
looming overture filigree varnished
left pastures incumbent on gratitude tests
the serpentine lattice living fumigation
where seekers cornering flumes report
acrylic dandruff meatloaf genders
surrogate replays to adipose impeding
circuits chronic with lapels promulgate
destiny vacations umbrellas unbowed
or clipped at the vintage repertory
withering panetella creases germinate
rebuttal fumes animate creed whistles
consolidating late bandana cameos
when omelets fail their passage spread
at odds with favorable grimace carts
baring their plentiful shiver plates
withering doldrum padlocks wary
of dead legends pining to hawser
agrarian nectar fish removers
detail inflected rubble clarions fail
to halt the raging aquarium rebellion
crossed headers breeding filters
that bray under blistered moonlight
barrage rumbling underfed pledges
fraternizing legends devise hazing
blood play to measure boot floods
overrunning banks with telling notes
alarming loose variables running on
treadmill fumes fascinated lumens
left on time a pointed departure
burrowed trail footage on the wait
an easy filter toward displeasure
elemental as crystalline rhetoric
sampled a shuffled turntable mix
breeding amps for nostalgia feeders
a deluxe climb to radio margin
decibel foot-longs pasted to meter
thong filters during protrusion mode
daring placental decadence movers
to mottle slow ambitions rotting
along the passage elemental fury
animates the glove latch hovering
overtones that ring pierced ears
to gobbling gastronomical smirches
before flagpole settees disburse
their mileage statement transfer
to wobbling institutional facets
maundering at the marginal
teflon leaking in brand name
only sharper multitudes packing
conundrum filters to still life
wherever breathing settles lower
disclaimers compelling rudder tacks
whose crematorium genetics crate
the hard-worn mirror defection
a loyalty straddled from neither side
nor the circle of protective ambiance
delta cradled or not as ladles fly
voluminous bodily snatchers boldly
deface categorical directive vacuole
transfers correcting situational detritus
that tends toward eclipsing the molar
eviscerated under cartilage steps
or traced beyond flagpole strata
pioneers of the cellular vacuum
divert an evening runway goddess
strapping gown fled cleavage toasts
the sun-bred follicle volley mutations
ventilate a sutured passion length
no retrospective claim to divert them
from the wary gloss of lost perspective
embracing wonders costing the cast
a halitosis invasion squad to bargain
mind breaths to shorten surveillance
their tenure slowly shattered wind
that flurries tentacle fusillade glands
where landing crates prove a vain
hold where no choker has grown bold
before mouthwash turned reciprocal
flaring nostril starters at a coastal retreat
umbrella shakers turned contrary
motion denied access to hearing
victuals on the rampage surged last
place in the legion duffle bag amour
soufflé left untacked at the station
respecting the fuselage flash its panache
gum spreaders alike seek recalcitrance
as nadirs bellow foghorn throttles
marking shelves beyond the strata
clenched behind their breathing
