underneath a pun pleated vapor questioning filters null

fat fat lingerer piling apexes around globules bundtcake

Yosemite wrenches a flatness out of opulent bile—ignoreable

The taupe boat

with a stick pin altogether painter

altogether jacked follow this 
when a shirt gapes flakes will appear to follow 
the stamp but span this blade 
the vapour and shortening tips 
and sank flags
the bowl stack teetered           and a taupe boat 
soon like a flickering             and the bike slink

phlegm clapboard dirigible quagmire

     in memory of Don Van Vliet AKA Captain Beefheart

respirator flared menagerie yolk floppy-shading
ghost catatonic quagmire glamour snoring vile pixels
stretched jawbone placemat druggist exit maximum
crenulation husk-like oxygen phallus dreck
sign with flower-shaped galaxion denture boxes
granules blinded out cremate drainpipe affection
touristic asterisk touristic machine rubble cumberbund
mouthpiece flicker twelve phlegm pockets tilt flabby
cranium splendid eyedropper spatially variable
cloudbursting drawn Czech posterior eyelashes phlegm
ball and chain traces drifting banisters employers Czech
sputtering chutney combs synesthetically gaseous relations
buoy tropic phlegm clapboard dirigible quagmire
flexion traipse clamor crumbing rocket bilge stubble flare
follicle wastrel flaccid vacuum drop
in the bucket freeze globules
