Accusing Wattage unrealized



Coastal obscenities blameless

recorded after testing bombs

                    shattered my toe

                    to the delight of

                    gopher paratroopers

 

How after flipping

            stripping

                        a blimp

kicked                         like

            a can of seedling

wrapping paper

 

I cut teeth braggadocio

through B&W filthy groceries

                                    shopping

                                    cart

                                    fountain

                        one PENNY

                            2 pennies     3

pennies inside/outside/

                                    dusted

                        trophy lighthouse

                        promissory

                                          NOTE

 

cappuccino absurdity

entwined in blips





Spinning in fashion chug choking plenty



If you missed the hip

            to shoulder hugging

                        devilled eggs

                        rotted / spotted /

            covered in carved

hamburger invisibility cloak

 

            Then you dropped bowels

            moving on freeway

                        resolved to toe jam

            footing the bill

                        until pills of

                        extravagance

                        instigate

                        castrated

                                    trash

 

Tho you squeeze crowning

wart grains of wheat

at least until

forgetting an

                        ANVIL

            squished as

many               collapsed

            VEINS as any troll

could sooth to

            cannibalize.



Nearsighted orangutan



Comedy that moans

                        in offensive glee

            b/c                   your

jelly belly Christmas

suicide appeared

as a suffocation

                        in my

            newsfeed

until pajamas

knew enough to

            engineer

a building

collapse crepuscular

moose song.
