      Unless guest bed is in the guest bedroom
      He has uploaded what I am to down a few years branded
      And I’m up for air resurfacing to the untrained eye
      This gifts dommage as few of us
      Magic plush the tidings crusted over many are
      The playthings ill-equipped to offer pardon
      And be cursed then
      Parka after parka won’t assuage the crash course in
      Viaduction poised to the eleventh . . .
      If I text box where I’m seated now, the remnants
      Of air supercharged revere will glib toward feasal
      Melodies in part suffused, emboldened, in soft landing plots
      
      The would-be rads allowed the room to heat up
      With tradition before showing off the teal infection
      Of their trifling amid elder slots
      These limitful small prior-minded young stayed
      Frozen in their chaps and people read them
      As they had been
      Urged, the payoff stayed as slight as chips 
      Of glass not tidied following the party in a
      Room of wit in pocks when one arm flings
      A gesture for a highlight (trade)
      Terrain for tubes of pinted paint
      The jerseys want to match the loyal fans’
      Desires the few shards of ontology
      Refer to cheating on a winded fast
      What kind of partnership demeans the neon
      Boast of silken match I think today
      I firmly love your trace left on the hutch
      Where letters to go out grow out in flower
      Full of depth the sill to practice level-
      Headed beach wear’s oxy-mantra staining

      Subdivide into the likely
      
      Coupling for convenience,
      Damages included,
      Fumer interdit and so forth
      Radical effusion plashes
      
      Tracks left where the jeep
      Turned sharply apart from

      Iology this miute, spew with force
      The plot rings tendered flock, just grad-
      So the soonest ever prayer trims the block-
      Ages as tripwire bodices its nether way to
      Core diminutives at once coarse and
      Replete with fazing near the spires
      
      Crave stills the mire quintupleted as only
      Individuaria conspires with answers posited
      
      Amend the mending so we can abide what
      We abide
      
      The forefronts’s laden with antiquity, a matter of
      Transperspiration penetrably audible with 
      Guess on guessworth ruminatively plied
      With drinks and such comisery if and
      Only if the fire is surgical 
      
      Enumerate / equivocate / emulsify / estrange
      The life raft steered is twice the fervent
      Standstill, even when the water laminates
      A curve ball stalled when / if a carapace

      Allow my modesty to speak its own line of intention
      
      Pears and sheep and swillful process of the riverbed
      As we enview its full elastic surge played purely through
      The dry infinity of summer light
      As water weight gives over
      Age and tantrums facing crayon color
      Droning in the swatch of elegance
      All else complete in contiguity, how women
      Feel sewn in to settlage come paint she asked for me 
      So what leaves gilt in the embroidered salmony in-fraught wheat
      Given the polite seam proudly periwinkle
      Color if the front wall can accommodate 
      These pillars yet a sweetened softened blue
      
      The pleasure is all consummate as natural
      Adobe makes its broadcloth sense 
      As cleats against the soft yard’s sullen meat
      You footfall into charm-high ceilings, cactus rib 
      Ceiling, split-by-fencing land and light
      Consumption, marring evidence, the feat we have in common
      References the standard score ingredients 
      Elaborate although tidy differences
      Respond to a nativity of yards of work
      As yet an overgrazed, the views, wet stones,
      A panoply of intervals . . .
      
      When she speaks I fathom deals to be handshaken into prominence,
      Or is there line on line to say, the active pace, the giving of a heart
      On feast of love means evidence, the Braille defeats immediacy
      Of this high-peak nest played close to havens where you work
      A downward slope of dialogue’s integrity
      
      The mantra squibs its way into a parcel of kinetic wiggle room’s
      Redundancy
      Can anyone with a straight face claim to love the fact of horses
      Plenary describes the fealty of intended wheeled neuroses
      Calm plate-laden fact
      Allow 12 tones to taste fact slavingly
      Repeat the contents of the call to others
      In the room, the viable connections, rafters planked out on the farm field
      Swank and bludgeoned later, triune faint white sewn things
      Kept sealed and retrenched as some away point
      Sumptuous claims had been repaired
      On a continuum of forth to back, the painterly
      Arrears left home, a kind of an arrangement twinned 
      And slowed and fuller than apartment light so venal portraits gift
      The slipping shores with rainy look at a repair
      Partitioned clay pored across, revamped as sewn plant 
      Globally run smoothly frothed
      Until a knowing pressed into the slivery across point
      When the will would sleeve a pint of gloss

      Red vibrant roses
      
      Gray sweater, three-quarter length, his suggestions work
      Practice accepting no / for the life / unless / pints
      Of good fresh / then we’ll go and ask for / let’s
      Practice the candy aisle / I copy something / don’t
      I want you to rehearse life so
      I get it fast as limberware, use your good 
      Manners, be a soothing man, a yard from
      This amendment, what if then goes, goes
      Slowly. Pause for breadth. The aptitude
      For this best set of manners.
      A play caught in life. Against the trend.
      Wool comforts. May I sleep within the practice
      Room. Maintain perspective. Live amid the breath.
      Be on your best beehive. Obstreperous refusal.
      Openly. Sufficient strums a point of particles.
      Okay. Kimberly enough. Use your face muscles if
      You please (refine the instrument) (If not for you)
      Shows I can trust. You. In a heart imposed.
      A cigarette from history. Want to denote Socratic
      Inference. Supposing. What enough for this 
      Demonstrative rapport. Too few [openly] of us.
      
      Whose behavior from the open book. Want to be 
      Barred from. Is community in need of infrared.
      Supposal gimmicks me. So how do you suppose.
      You want me to absolve the guilty party
      Of projected guilt. I wait when it is less
      Convenient to do otherwise. French horn is not.
      The lone qualm swollen in the dark when
      Reason fails to have caught fire.
      
      Cave owns prints. Apologize for the relationship.
      Apologize to the relationship. Repair your part in
      The relationship. Rehearse alternatives to 
      Future glibness. Also vaulted into dimly lit
      Room bulb. The pressing is a near.
      Are friends for. Demonstrate. Kiss
      Cloisters. One at least. This petrified
      Wall borders on
      All nearly. Daylight.
      Satisfied for the duration.
      Penniless even to work.
      Right now. Evaluation. Ploy and weather.
      Read chapter nine, pages 83-90.
      
      Crestfallen for the nonce, stupendous climate
      Is your pay in givens
      Mild dosage of flack, guesses replacive of 
      An empire waistline. Viability eventually
      Relaxes in a way we work, we work for
      Shelving, the forebears replace a conscience
      Solo particled affaired as reins go loose
      Financially have you been sumptuous (enough) or
      Are you reaching salient heights previously
      Considered prominent, enlistive, stained,
      Quasi in-focus / do you worry every night,
      I want to know the future if it’s good
      Tray vegetables, stowed bags, coats plugging the
      Empty space, task frames, maturity
      Hinges on the lateral takes on diminution,
      Vacant with a flask appearing to be full
      Enough, would you prefer, would you
      Arrange, is there sufficient time-
      Table, are features altogether beneficial,
      Why or why not, rise at the perfect
      Crack of dawn, impress at least yourself
      
      Seems perception hastens liabilities,
      Good talker, though, IQ somewhere between
      Ninety and one-ten, does this mean people
      Are fated, would you suspect extra
      Performance twines the outages, the word
      “wreck” from a man who does not lean on
      Or even pronounce the final consonants,
      So sounds juvenile, especially given
      The adenoidal flap that comes with 
      Overlaying would-be langue
      
      I like to guess things, understanding
      Fabricates a touch of spark, maybe
      The overglaze means worth is chemical
      And meaning as it’s doled out
      Limbers the person, folding it into
      A larger scheme, so long as meaning
      Clacks inside the enging
      
      Here where it is peaceful, flavorful, I commit
      To opening the lines that seem so straight
      But not unyielding so hope runs high
      On litmus maybe and on traced existence
      Passing (before) judgment clams the prior
      Installation photographed, merely
      Imagined, or veering as things tend to veer
      Through punishable avenues
      Try an experiment, train a psyche
      Of your very own to latecome as it is
      Convenient
      
      Not to keep a diary repeals the regs
      In a contained way sturdy as receptors
      Gouge (I hear her fears) a day’s worth of
      Triumphant spattering, the outcome of which
      Steely shatters purebred glass we learn
      To shine, in which we view a surface
      Self as it is seen as we are nobly given
      The full brunt of eviction therapy,
      Wanting to hear fugal freedom parse
      Logistics of the daybreak simmering in given
      Grace-
      Tones, the very musculature
      Of dairy foods and hemp and soldier
      Attitudes
