SONNET
Will droll halves of the simplest vaunting squeak
Bedmake the palimpsest that has sufferred
Dual authorship only once? But to speak
Of it another way, haven't we heard
The motif of events seperating
And random abandonments and sidings?
The split infinitive illustrating
The dimming radius of our underthings?
O! The tragicomic caterwaul, now.
O! The speckled lense of an homonym,
Reversed in tremulating reflection.
Games like these are best when -- and this is how
To maladjoin them -- both contestants win,
And precluding the game to begin one . . .
GRIMEY OLIVE
Do emote. Try. Freesweet sugar.
In sheer night of sea-imitation
Insistence of ground loop.
Joint justification of the couplet.
Awful good, pack your tick, cruel
Bicker, bewilder thick, pointed
Vilification of the luckwit.
Another affecting trammel.
A standing lunch rush. In-
Iquitously prep chef hopes
Into leaf bed. Must be moral
Function, no peregrine langor.
HIRSUTE PEACH
So-called edens of commodified melancholy
To become uncritically devoted, disinherited
Of lunch smite. That's a bad bunch out to
Accoutre the fields beyond your chill green lawn.
Awful good bewilder, standing rush to freesweet
Sugar in luckwit. No peregrine langor, no nymph.
Joint justification of fore. Low relief as
Grimey olives, hirsute peach, resistence at
The core. Intermittance is after all not
Perturbed constance. Do emotry.
CAMPUS BY NIGHT
That slightly aggregated dollop on water
Is unmistakable emergency phone bulb.
And that there is an ambiguously anesthetized
Girl of fourteen, natty mop-top tumbler by the boiler column.
