"Team Worked," "The Man in Charge," and "Temptation Deadbeats"

Team Worked

slim custodian panthers
hector the tentacle partnership

   from slow
to linear

   when a thanks rotisserie
   embeds straight shaking
   of the mariposa wrangle

the grim uranium threesome’s grit

   substituted

   quark snitches

in the soundtrack

parading

a chained raincoat

in his make

   *

sunbeam cartographers
slog through
buff legislation broadcasters
   above
the direct
   abstention
   normally substituted
   hoisting environments

   to their poisoner

the pork guard
ever the rupture mischief
filtered the disease

markings fingered
sequential flay lathered

to greenback painter

bottled finances nonstop
   left their dreadful interjection

   the lacquer handbill

pinched a boundary

   *

a recourse running
to pod contribution tonnage dustcart
uses binary maximum renewed
invective
motorway fiery
   roars in faded
   sulfur toward tenements

the shipped drift
voyagers in vent structure

disposals upend
the meandering catalyst maps

vacant travels
to the forward tentacle
   snicker

gray

at the hector

   protruding

   partnership

The Man in Charge

the demeanor
of a swollen dignity grater
swaggers
its velcro epithet

   bowed strut
   legs past

lines casting them a meaner present

   swollen with sir names
   stolen from the cheese
   block scraping menace

dead tomato parmesan

its funeral for dessert

*

springs to life
as winter’s goldwave

rakes off the prophets

cash first
   and only

borrowed wisdom pertains

   to the heart-shredding rite

on the night of the holy sun

   death by unclocked solstice

*

seasons of darkness
borrowed forever on
credit taken not paid

   the Aztec altar stained
   with a glut of the given

to prevent further disaster
from ever faster naming of victims

   all taken

in stride

and strut

Temptation Deadbeats

at the last cultural hollow
the divorce of collision motive
from a left-wing counter vaunt
handed the ambiguity gone
to rupture fairway cactus

as glazed flamenco demons
toned their occlusion constables
a brickading clockwork grenade
lost its wherever massage
while its password vitamin
delayed monument yearnings

the faded eyeballs encased
their phone-in simulacrum

fedora plumage toned to low
under their nominal radish
elision missing two handbags
three dots and one pastel snapper

a dingo tempest plated to track
their ebony figments required
stoking before thorough bromide;
subterranean maladjustment
meant a lowered curve runner
speedboat pillage distension

certified thumbtack renunciations
react to the posh cowl peepshow
