Drop-Down Scampi


Caressing tonal starlings, shack survivors pause and whittle cotton milk, toasting the governor’s spare body. If only handmade levitation could repeal a sterile chimp, grating placards into merchant marines. Grappling with wool and musty tomatoes, floating in a skyline clogged with stolen shoes, last year’s natal clouds imply ferocious monocles, lifting visionary chowder to unbound carp. Vermin cackle hardy slogans, lip-synching to chinchilla flats and ultra-sharpened maniacs, running out of ants. Coarse emphatic easements confiscate cascading fuel, unleashing acrid dominoes, leaving windy villas in grouped stylus troves. Launching lemons from browning tusks, adroit mottos plug a heavenly night’s filial castanet with octal yearnings, gratifying ad men from marital youth to unencumbered grease toys. Ripening in the frozen dew, dandelions vent locked rookeries, strumming an escapee’s staunch collective. Worsted olives dance with maiden voyeurs, teething under anthill storms, issuing a Grecian oeuvre to more pliant lupins. Suspenders vocalize amnesia, misty-eyed and bottlenecked, spreading endorphins on Brillo. Hunched over pealing bots, oxygen cats snare a quasar chief, glancing off gorged palliatives, coring fur anemones. Feelers pressure styrene crayons, hopping roof tenders with marbled criteria, wolfing down basement belles. Monkeys spurn the seven dishes, entreating milked totterers to waffle in reply. Idle roadsters rev to sitar shakes, hazing broken wharves, foundering on tapered pets. Monocular parakeets dwindle in rear-view wallets, stocking up for dosage days, chatting in a childhood cloak. Moaners pawn euphoric ferrets, cracking up pita sacks and remote contrail greens. Crouching diplomats notch chippy pseudopods with shale armies, honing swoons in tanning drool. Silence greets the loom with playful steam, loping to the crowded jungle’s bugle. Dignified immortal yearnings drawl for silos, leaving the bowling plate. Trachea lend an earring to raucous mammals, spotting basil loops in arid trumpery. Spinning colonial ardor into whimsy, equatorial hitmen frolic in the serf’s drawn butter, flexing footfalls in broken gauze. Altered munchies flush thematic pride in prism tonic malts, clustering schematics into higher fiddles. Loud accretion cools around parking, slamming dart cones under hand lockets. Precious thatch grows to haul a submarine’s finest wife, imitating addled bishops, entranced by osmotic whorls. Aggregates emote a luscious clearing, leaping into fiery skin for drop-down scampi.

Concertina


Feathery grain encounters overflow in isolated shadows, baking windswept whey, plugging enigmatic fluency with raw ceramic wells. Handling ionic canaries for ethernet tomes, we indicate ambidextrous pistons to freed rambunctious ghosts, dropping idiosyncratic pram zealots on ferrous caissons. Nuns see lessons in daguerreotypes, ingesting gated voles, quieting scoured understudies. Validity in gusty statues tallies to wanderlust, denoting wooden walkabouts for hummingbird sloops. Equality returns, effacing miniatures before ebullient anchormen cohabitate with bastion grips, instilling idols with topical decrees. Remonstrating en route, elusive cuckoos clog the carousel with pablum, elevating empaneled apiaries with Sumerian quilts. All the toddlers in rosy Kropotkin Palace rusticate and flirt with the tsarina’s alley cats, implicating uncool hollow bellies in their concertina maze. Diaphanous colliers cavil at crenellated flute escapes, pending exoteric masquerades, insulated with valence beets and topiary optics. Seabees tithe, correcting lupine actuaries, exposing desultory mullahs, glorified in antiseptic catering. Sooty coffers, sequestered by contumacious Dictaphones, sprinkle secretions of olfactory palaver, caressing salacious invertebrates in tuxedo town flues. Operatic ivy caramelizes for diurnal ichthyologists, adumbrating colloidal petri shuttles. Glutamate retainers vitiate erogenous entropy, sluicing through turbid thimbles. Melange mechanics mollify a bureaucratic browser, rectifying tessellated conifers with surfeit plaques. Accolades accumulate, percolate in chocolate, dilate on Diophantine croutons, and gratify pyroclastic tears, emulating cliques.
