lung his shot foot  .so 
on rash feathers on my

retraction ,muzzled rice 
impacted in his nos tril

your shirt copper froggy 
sand flea hopping in my 
ear the itchy waves 
scour through it’s 2 
o’clock my n ape 
rumbling dims his )be lt 
loops gag( a sausage 
rolls    beneath   a   rock

leaving the storm hole 
lac ustrine dust swirling 
in t he trees my shirtless 
hand gobbles y me voy 
para viejito endeble o 
endoble donde tu te 
tomas el vaso orin oso 
where my skull 
popped out       or       out
