Monument Lift

lift the sobma off the loveseat
lift the cash off the toilet
lift the litter off the hatbox
lift the tunnel off the water
lift the cymbal off the garbage can
lift the trust account off the lint
lift the polish off the benzene
lift the torture off the soapbox
lift the twistem off the Q-Tip
lift the clouding off the tantra
lift the cornflake off the monument




Fish Pass

pass the book and fall apart
crunch the book and lie about
fold the book and fondle noodles
rash the book and quit your smoking
heave the book and drink intention
gun the book and nod and giggle
form the book and dust and run
rice the book and towel doorways
aim the book and butter kerosene
mind the book and isolation
drip the book and corner limping
find the book and age the fish
