poem || Peter Ganick

origin.

1.
site ascetics vidalya motions 
whirl-a-gig troubadours
merrily tantrums elevators 
pining washer-coats 
stereophonic assortments 
quixotic extrema 
vigilant to english presence.

assortments environs capitulate 
intersecting alveoli tone 
acidic ritornelli.

bloss feudal mutter 
tunnel-hardening blockages 
deigned val de martinets 
elevators stateless entity 
between walls 
on once in fabric earlier. 

steering pale rhythms 
those fleshed oversight 
benzene rings activations 
whereas flusterer witness 
theoretical conniptions 
each mannequin assigned 
pinto breviaries liberal 
tonic statements 
those invulnerable consequences 
tenants écarté foreign twine 
rooftop environs fecklessly abrogated 
norm essences wielding 
small talk.

2.
tyros veneers pennants windows 
various collectives remain 
others rerun.

antonyms reveal contortion 
wide floribunda
the miscibility 
each vectored ousia plummets 
vacantly occiput evacuees 
thrones additives lemons 
gaffes either willful or accidental 
nubs offhand images returnees 
somewhere deliberative 
where scansion peristalsis commentary 
oceans deflect networking sous pardon.

contingency permutes vacancy—
stilted nebula ethereal celsius notebooks 
ramps ensign renaming 
creative artistes ankles mowers—
dowries coronets collations 
whither sallow frost 
however stalemate ironicizes 
motionless amplitude 
one settlement watching 
earliest greeting skillet.

3.
garuda blot ensemble 
lettered environs either
walrus clobber studies 
etruscan borealis tanker 
shuffle embodied vocality 
comparative minor silences 
throughput enables 
descriptions aslant.

entente volitional curtailment 
winsome affect nounal 
cobra actor imbalance 
third railings elevate moiré vacations 
tinctures everest as lucid.

4.
comparatively reclusive thoroughly iconic 
site siddhis tentative 
listless where agility sports 
valves and mirrors. 

waiting the awared finesse 
rendered zones 
articulation cuffed and brought 
formalities volumnar indeed 
mirrored vacuums throttle ivories 
atomic literal curators 
entertainments what comparative old hatcheck 
cochin outré crabby 
noumena stipulator 
each vectored sleight 
goblin errors density 
otherwise no regroup 
coupe de villanella 
porcelain shavers in subtended lasso 
tirades elliptic recurs 
what settlements viewers 
cadmium streetlamps.

which tags—which tack treasure 
stymie torrentous conifers 
elemental networking sluice 
forded white paper 
black ink settee 
canoe sturgeon acceleration 
while sotto vacancies debut 
slacker inverses renovate mirrors 
either witnessing amass zones 
from carpets 
summarize overhauled oppression.

5. 
accrete volitional young psalter of mastery 
reversion lacunae through iterative melancholy 
bower vingt-quatre obelisks 
vedette millinery oceans itemize enrichment 
tastes remake curtailment once sedimentary 
if and only if once slept sweltered awake 
from tugging shelter 
veneer also patrician 
blooded mutinies each vector 
ones and twos interpreted vacuum 
with fullness expunge 
thorough intrepid actions.

compression poof tread ejectile 
avails remedy 
averaging sluff etiquette 
symbolic regurgitated society 
neon parameters globules 
mitigating selfless willows tented 
form as future mitten seldom 
relay comparative breadwinner 
investing lossless avail 
interpretations chapter amidst 
versification.

scurry through township 
retune calibrated impressions 
lyres over lyrics do oppress.

governance threatens elevate remedies 
laissez faire vented availing 
cheerful vanities curtail 
none of the above.

6.
greeting amputations momentarily 
treadmills together in original serration 
elsewhere parroting 
clef ubiquitous demi-monde 
site citthern apple 
cactus tether evening 
scumble relational curiosity 
hooped ownerships 
either valkyrie celsius thorough 
cufflink those retuned attorneys.

mysterium mystic tennis elsewise 
premonition cell tide 
moot scansion brooked visible 
riser fomented band-shirt 
vacant scrapple battalion 
nit sitting awash vellum 
non-echoic freezer rawhide 
summation epsilon claret 
voucher stipulator yammering 
clusters witness surreal ornaments 
once data dated mirrors 
each lector hambone 
striker chooses delight 
each winnowed grommet 
inkling flash card.

material universe—
weeping salutations 
elsewise paucity where 
elsewhat environs 
those clustering always 
promontory each tenuto 
listless anarchism noon trait 
enables deterrents 
acid notebooks eeriest val de mar 
haptic standard re rehearsal 
ditto chameleon velocity 
acme salida bootcamp stiles 
where wakeful immersions 
bake sheds intractable 
in town and their contrasts.
