spectroscopic vortex. eyes on america. the unknown woman.
having an unpleasant talk with you this evening. the moon sinks.
statements on a theme of poverty and responsibility.
natreous participation. that was a Fury shifting in her sleep.
fighting other countries for fun and profit. that seated queen.
seeking love in the springtime. three dancers with the guts to try.
american traitor. household word for destiny. the house of thieves.
battlements, someone up there waving a flag with the color of good news.
one cut and the enemy falls. nine more blows, and the empire falls.
someone cropping up with the plague and banished into the forest.
we are in our cups, unconscious and sinking fast. everyones here at the party.
margrave, his mouth filled with glitter words. pontiff jumping off next.
sell me your deserving calumnies, I have the gold. a kiss of good fun.
she was all gray but the moon rose. he was in flowers but misfortune.
the house collapsed. playing a bad hand across the table.
where was the recluse monk when we were looking for him.
no time for a visit. get on your horse before the worse weather comes.
everyone sees. we dont have daylight to guide us. specious fears.
I have what youre looking for. bearing in mind that you wake up more now.
mashiach comes but once a year. he carries the eternal Om on his brow.
marked with the sign of unexpected windfall. her Amazonian beauty.

Somebody draw a bird, and someone else try to draw a face.
Drawing on the left side of the Mona Lisas hair. Some master
pieces dont give in to the metrics assigned for analysis.

It takes time, mediation between what you people do and
the heart of every toy left over in the gallery of templates
labeled To Be Designed. Pop-up box set like a broken leg.

Where the skeuomorphic running horses in the room vault
the misaligned projection screen and race for the Atlantic coast.
Someone count up the hours and make a flower out of paper.

Response guaranteed On earth as it is in Aruba

The telegraph supplied all their needs What problems has this caused for you?

Keeping my starshine dry and at the ready That structure stills
The tide and on land
There is no truth
But as the tongue speaks

Some restless figurines When the lyricism hits you,
Appear as if to dance You shout


Who has the nerd diagrams? The historical of the mystical

Damage over the reed sea at 12,000 ft. An overdetermined bog

My heartache recounting Wasted
Your words to tell, In genesis
So many sympathies
In pottery

Incunabula raised on the berry juice of antiquity

Stative verb for the yes/no answer Against overdetermination

The hallway has now been sterilized Clad in dusty denim
Tells us the apparition he witnessed
During last nights storm

As installation is enforced The angels latch
Onto passing trucks
With their talons

And head for the next town
Up the line

By hour, by minute

A light goes on when the technicians are recording Theyre always recording

You start to listen for mistakes As part of the music

This elder subject sitting on a worn couch The goddess intercept
Turned to the north
In anticipation

Tracking hair loss on the highway near Stockton Atoms want to move faster
