                                                                uncertain slantlight
venom paragraphed lactation;
    noisy limbs fortune to come
                                  acceptably urban lacquered corrosive ought –
dissatisfaction is too eternal:

loan hoax oppression acknowledges fact as wetness
bereavement, cell selves captured fails to ignite –
                                                                what are sit facts? –
                                  superscript flaps in back, pregnantly coked
                                  past on a maculate ask-o-lated leash
mutated site.
    It is virtually impossible to do anything in high heels;
lineup money deploy
my legs, you mean the pagan pistons?, wet with neon
                                  relegate tenderness to grade-farm
                                  spastic free intrusive confidence
as no-good as collapsed fronts can be
                                  except in cases of glandular insufficiency
bandaging arbitration, depression made me
too familiar with depression, promises thought less vamp –
                                                                twist it till it aspires
                                  annoyance heats exact
withdrawn pajamas: what would he shout about? –
                                  eschew the obvious kinds of pets
                                  straddled evasion cussed a pox
talk to compensate quantity of male by the throat
I pried – why, crotchety belittlement
mistake tumor for baby squeezed on thought
                                  teeth a sexist gripe:
    not vociferatable
anathematizing that creature
                                                                profusion of delinquency
came under hundred penchant, dripping, blaming,
                                  gander restive talk about cool trash –
                                  it’s our tat they were titting:
                                  lies toy with mammals, perv’ s craft
when you do in what you want
improperly discard those who try the reins –
tip the bastard neck
spooned investment crash mussed wrong
                                                                hatch my permission.
    Oh name wrong exiled privacy
marblecake doing cleavage image arrest
                                  slender canon candy hum –
                                  rated PG, parasitism in vain, tread light
on refusal’s last detail, cold in maples’ syringe –
                                  triangle trembling tremendous
                                  convicted artery felon tongue,
    cut-out shoulders, anhedonic of a brief contingent
contractless dementia epitomized retroactively secret
                                  amnesiac bait in distance: cocksure –
                                  so who glows? – wrists as furtive
teeth around exotic whirl’s turbulent deflected hour
                                  palate yoked flood respirants;
    love = chewing?:
                                  can a woman stand?:
chemical wedding’s language of hypostatic delirium choice,
panache-drowned inarticulacy fends off witness –
                                  everything is physically addictive:
high body count, the wasp stung the oyster
                                  not in my experience grown cold, sweat nouns:
you could be a nun that they have options –
                                  people don’t really love like monkeys
high kink indifference
holding patience back, benumbs cheat tool rule
defunct,
    tilted pointed future tips arbitrate snake
surpassing limb emergency discharge: hands up, tongue bent
aside, exacting
courtesan or cortisone lotion, vaginal morphemes venture;
    slink quick down on this content
up proof in danger
                                  to the mute weekend readiness protocol –
                                  it feels like sucking on a ruler, right? –

                                  too shunt to bother South of Regret.
    Authority deprives so many reasons
                                  irresponsible for body harassed annuity:
                                  why the skirts got growth, what are
                                  my fantasies to you! –
rear view vice mirrors, swans reckon on filth weeping
Conan vacancies of tax-deferred seduction –
I am not happy to have this man as one of my referees;
push the blame foursquare jiggle surely mistook Sodom as Nexus:
                                  devil in habit, don’t eat meat on planes,
carnal copulation with women?, saltpeter ride free! –
intra-uterine enormously enhanced sovereign tormentary harm
heaved harm, I translated my ambivalence
into a felony charge: I don’t see why, limits had fun
‘fucked’ and ‘out of it’ could be synonymous,
how people sell you any comment would be
conflict, but how do they differ from mannikins? –
                                  what’s your genital handicap score? –
people aren’t indiscriminate about their limitations, excuses
more apparent than mauved fix rehearsals confess.
    No rules, no exceptions
this bobbin made go away, preposition interior
                                  circumstantial advantage to weep at drug
                                  flat reprieve death’s majorette, I presume –
I do not run by batteries; look more closely! –
                                  alphabet burst the heart
within no one
                                  just the rush of excitability

                                  the emotional ammo stitch fissure up
                                                                recursive melt
totally gratuitous extra-ordinary facts:
