Threatened / by a / plastic razor blade

Employers can eliminate the
frames of our back patio doors
& turn what could be a life-
threatening situation full of un-
necessary gimmicks into an
organ theme brimming with
allure. There are some draw-
backs — opening those doors
can produce epic sounding
pieces, but they do contain a
kind of darkness within them.

 


 

A line from harry k stammer

Polyps spawn on the lawns of
the State Capitol in Sacramento.
An annual event; but nobody
bothers to count. Lots of guesses,
 
all of them wrong. So, adjust
estimate. Criteria: who the cur-
rent Governor is, similar such.
How many dead celebrities? As
 
many as at a Taylor Swift concert?
More to come? The pass-through
may be even greater. Build in con-
tingencies, selected confounders.

 


 

She was an oboe player in the Peloponnesian War

Salvage crews begin removing a block
of heavily armed infantry standing
shoulder to shoulder. I drive into town.
My cassette collection has disappeared.
 
I pass a grid planting of trees in a garden.
There is no command radius but is there
a spin limit? Column to phalanx, ultra
high density endcapping, thoracic skele-
 
ton with an acetabular articular facet; but
head-on against a similarly arrayed enemy
they couldn't exist without the shield. It's
hard to say who is most dangerous. Pike
 
animations still suggest a #MeToo reckon-
ing, but after articulating the manuscript
submitted by the dockside warehouse
it seems the tumor rarely presents in the
 
hand. That might be true; but she, usually
accompanied by her loyal trigger finger,
makes the most of her preferences by joy-
