"sun chain," "the sirius yard is the color of the sea," and "the radio clue or clock"
sun chain
we learn of the world in socks
we eat the eggs of the family lizard
I’m drinking a gallon of toast
the burger of the violet machine
I’m sailing in the moonstream
I’m walking with the white noise feet
we can hear the sunshine
nothing in the tree is a secret
the sirius yarn is the color of the sea
I am the clorox of the walnut
I am the soft ankle of the daylight
tracking the harsh neighbor
the nova gloom
the careful denim dream
the starboard life of the coconut
the big gulp of the chargers game
I was the clean broom of the hand
in the chamber of the crying glue
I was a glum drum
the radio clue or clock
the shark of the paper
we lasso the chocolate
the suit and burger to lose me
the parrot of the bald lemon
I was in the middle of the room
I witnessed that classic asp
the little lake tigers are in alphabetical order
the scientific bread of the language
