glue stick goes north
soothes who &
whom that l
a cloth bicycle
heaven of the golden
millet
jerrycan exxonic
in the garden
at the beginning of the future
hear the gravy siren?
I eat my andes mints
& my radish pie
at daniels & fisher tower
the BVO gas station is gone
gone!
one baby & baby
it’s tree time!
I am without
the sporting news
on the final earth
on the famous earth
a northern idea
yurt head a
line
mortgage (dead pledge)
morning again
morning again
pink eye
pineal
blue &
here
morning again
