the situation zone

verse annually cut
internally diagonal
neither ornate nor
an orange crate
the oral fire a form
of thumb piano
porous needs like
champagne and
communism

cut like a pie

vitamin bone romanticism
given verbal impressionism
expresso cubic yard sale
parsed the magical medicine
angels aglow with lucidity
a seed is a dare
watch the march of corn
oblong stories
with their predetermined dates

the saturation tone

curse annually cult
in terminal diagonal
either or note nor
a range rate change
crate abate strata
the aural fire a storm
of numb piano
pores seeds like
champ acne and
coma municipalism

hut like a die

vital minim clone 
riven verbs ail 
expressive rubric card 
game parts edited 
ed
it
ed
the mage medium
angles glow with ludic
creed is a snare
batch the parch of horn
job long storming
with their turpentine
gates

the matriculation cone

curse annually sawmill
in elastic lime
ether or rote norms
and castles rate change
crate made by strata
the aural hand a storm
of numb sea slip
ores screeds like
camping acres and
Mount Tiresias
U-turn

shut like an eye

viral elastic clone 
sawmill verbs pill
Mount Tiresias
U-turn
same arts audited
awe
it
fed
the page podium
castles glow with ludic
creed made by a stare
snatch the starch of worn
stairs long stemming
with their turpentine sea
slipping gates with their
serpentine
sea gates slipping

shot like Andy

the glass lime eye
scorched the porch of worms
stairs lung ill oil
with their turpentine sea
pill awl with their
serpentine sea
pull caul gates seeping
sawmill rutabaga catgut
Mount Tiresias
U-turn
name smarts audible
claw
bid
blue Bible
the sage sodium
muscles flow with static
creep fades by a pair

the micturating comb

curls factual sawmill
inner clastic time
feather nor mote farms
the class mime eye
strata clade by zawn
the karst wand corm
of crumbs thee sleeping
doors screech like
vampire aces strand
Mount Tiresias
U-turn
