Precarious Collage
Ruminate on Hanover Hattie, tunnel foreword —
Sky orange marmalade with Saint John akimbo
Swingline buzz the death of “I” across the circle
Estrella gaze fog breath after a June snow
Hottub Hattie slips over the border for a soak
Ferryman JP2’s frog voice from oesophageal cancer
Midstream announces that Tom Clark’s onboard for the ride
Who when called upon stood to yell, “This isn’t Berkeley!”
Hulu Hattie podcasts, “Charles & Ed want a word or two.”
Ponder each grapheme, my good god that’s a load of gravel
Oil rigs bleed the Permian with a chock hold frack
Breath mint Jo Jo oversows the cheeky support of bangtail
Gas-dip by psalms on Corpus Christi unqualified Cruz
Shrill flatness tarnished the House of Rock with Cubism
(illegitimacy)
Reduction plasma extractor nightwear breechcloth
“Posterity,” screamed old-line Cyclops midriff sallow six-pack
Pseudo Machiavellianism yellow shiftiness nausea puke
High-Hattiness swellhead braggadocios flaccidness
Hoity-toity criminal diabolic rash crave purple charge
Roebuck rackabones sucking up chokeberry soup rouge
Nonconduction frequency semidarkness patchwork dirge
Heavyhearted Hattie sourpuss laments Tom’s specter
