honks

honks half the hulk heaving horns
super coda clump the pore bag
only oils the onion oven oinker
coinage flick at the long park
nab nates the nutty nest nether
neither vest putty the satan crab
krap kong the ka kwik korner
blinker even orion the boils oily
sag sore the sump soda supper
corns weaving bulk the calf monks

nor sop nor sot nor sip nor set nor soot
nor niece nor fiddle nor bread nor lobes nor bumps





Ffud

opt the casing was it chimping
cuffing it was fates the daft
crack the laundry was it beaning
bombing it was summer the polls
clothe the nasal was it undulating
waging it was plastic the sport
spot the lastic was it aging
thundering it was naval the sloth
pills the sumptive was it combing
beaming it was sunday the crock
waft the nates was it duffing
limping it was chasing the cops





Luggage

noose luggage sapped the chomping
whistling the dewow baggage ffohc
cue luggage aged the toweling
rubbing the brain baggage flah
meat luggage formed the shadow
xerox the razor baggage knirb
brink luggage dazed the kotex
hollow the foamed baggage team
half luggage rained the tubing
bowling the raged baggage cute
choff luggage wowed the wristing
stomping the wrapped baggage noise





Speck

lop a speck a chump a spew a leap a truss a
book reap raw tongue grace sugar
name a taste a trot a sold a lung a crepe a
junk boot phone crab pink meal
seem a nom a toot a trace a lack a lake a

useless unless

useless as a ton in maps
unless in a draft as fire
useless as a tongue in sandwich
unless in a cuff as answer
useless as a beet in briefcase
unless in a vote as minnow
useless as a mote in window
unless in a treat as surface
useless as a huff in dancer
unless in a lung as bandwidth
useless as a raft in wire
unless in a fun as traps

gate and dill and hiss and smile and sound and tall
oil and only and open and ornery and obvious and obviate
same and bush and tape and bash and bask and take

suitcoat off the delbmurc taft chit
gun peel trouble off the acrid
random off the elbuod leeh nuts
foam law dimple off the duction
noitcus off the elpmis wrap emod





Chopping

chopping the hand
playing the horn
beaming the form
budding the moat
ditching the clots
playing the funk
saying the dunk
switching the slots
building the throat
dreaming the storm
naying the corn
shopping the gland






Born

born a club a sugar floor
craft a flood a mirror score
seep a junk a running blade
skunk a mist a muscle hoof
sot a sense a clubbing shirt
paste a role a rubric food
baste a mole a cubic flood
clot a scent a rubber dirt
sunk a must a music roof
sleep a bunk a sunny glade
raft a blood a motor sore
sworn a cube a trigger door

What you have heard is true. I was in his house. His wife carried

When you run off, I start after you,
Lightning hits the roof,
I’m running away from men who are trying to

I look at my own

The Theme

the theme of the massive amount yet
evades all change, therefore speech
detect the ruse of snail appointed hoeing
mechanics impenetrable anything but absent
mislayered my pants so hallucinated
drooling and recess dormant
forms of pleasure, produced or
started edging toward the john he
the tanned, instinctual, indecisive
then beers as grown frowning sense
but they are the diffuse crowd
estiumated that few the world hove
particularly open to instruction
miracles with their instructions glowing
as valuable warnings unless salvation
beaches simulation state stopping
despair as the sensations, experienced
spoke as cloven nose much lather
and fury, considered desirable only
cloak has proven no touchy latke
barely able to to be drawn into
screeches simulacrum steak shopping
the reference buried in that spot
american with the destruction gloven
and the sentence feeling enraged
accumulated the new their words shove
into the rapid exchange and none of
the birs has flown flowning rinse
wall, in this instance would conclude
startled wedges forward their joint heat
with a ton of cement
cooling and excess dormic
understood to be genuine enthusiasm
misreading my pints soap
that can't be found nor no longer
protect the use of small disappointed shoeing
far less than the time allotted
the dream of the missive about sweat
the unmistakable room in which to relax
