i esp

exactly seventeen polaroids eggshell space
plenty emergent so papa eats shamrock
pineapples entrails soya products eventually
situate precedent enveloping sari pointillist
escapism some persistent entrepreneur snags
promises ebullience sullies proper endings
snapdragons pinch elderly stubble parachute
earning senex prozac eclipse sundry paradise
endemic shambolic priapism enter soon

who knows but that the he for
and the she said when up the clouds
varicose blanket needed or heat
pack applied for the snail said the late
of since when they of their predecessors
blood stilled over the gaze polished
corridors and justice because after all

who knows the chills and the seesaw
wind growing bread out loud
suppose the sharks upended the wheat
stacks dappled in hail bedtime radios
stress free lunchtimes of their predecessors
wood says these are ways admonished
cerebral fustian amid plaster halls

who knows what the bee fought sand
blended in the field and then shrouds
of deposed warheads tanked it in peat
blackappled for the spoils red the state
dress glove bend grey of their predecessors
food willed plover the warble stays demolished
commercial trust of the chorus half and more

iii. the abc studios

appropriate beacons consider during escape five general heuristic images. jesting kills limestone manners neither openly perusing quotations regardless. studios tethered underneath various widescreen xeroxes, yelling zebras.

apples baroque chide dope enraged fenced guests, heiresses, incriminating kraals, liquidating monasteries. no oneiric philomels question reified statistics there, under vinyl windscreens, xenophanes' yodel zoo.

acquire botulinus chandeliers, direct elephant freighters gunning homeward inside java. kick lime monsters nervously. oven physics quells ragamuffins, stuns trolls. ubiquitous venom wastes xenophobic yiddish zoroastrians.

after breakfast call down every fifth girl. her impish jokes kismet love maybe neverending. oncoming pollen quickly run sister. they undermine, virtually wrote xanadu yesterday zephyr.

abrasive barometric cinnamon discloses effluvial fables garrisoned hopelessly. kilometers lull more noons openly. privacy quells regnant somnambulance, testing undergarments. viscerally watered xylophones. youthfulness, zeal.

antistrophe brings credulous dreams, entreaties forming garrulous howzats. in jamaica kleptomaniacs leave most nightshirts open. postmodern quolls run systematically trained under very wise xerxes, yawning zigzags.
