proprietary Mabuhay gardens
slinks paydirt catastrophe
apropos Day-Quil zinc dues
bloated on our office art they
got toys on the Ponderosa 
doing spice to diamond mine

pampered salsa

downtown among the aging barbarians
ram's-head Abraham salt-pumice as if
this is some hireling pimento mortgage
iron lung of wages law of the puma and
Hiram the Hunter craft ruffians numerous
Kings construction alias worker banks
spelled now and blue skillful phrase-note

mask

down the road handstands sang
ripe Horus amygdala sensorium
pentimento yes so they say we
the hangman even haymarket if
anarchists sable insulin unguent
ungulate at the sign of the geyser
horn we are drenched in blood
arcs at Tunisia at night in the
cobalt ambit an ambulatory
pandemic kite playgrounds
playthings in situ in shards
sinuous ying yang asemia
rebuilt circuitry logarithmic
arrhythmia binary arithmetic 
even around the ground round
well-lit at the steak unhurt
angstrom unheralded hints
of baked catapult pesto estimated
bardo resounds androgynous mask
