"the electric jug band"

the strawberry-flavored tar
carpeted in turpentine

a handbook for dogs
peanut butter
pocket knife

blended with pearls
skillful stone cotton
the pot liquor
graveyard

******

"prohibited orange"

it's glue contains:

appliqued salad
seven's manual relief
white play doh
prohibited -
orange

******

"mister conversation"

cheerless and dim,
tinged with the
black shadowy

dash'd down -
taken from a
huge tiger

her eye,
of my arrows and so,
a heavy shade

the yellow fog
the robe of night
a piece of heavy gut

arrows, spear, and sword
soot that falls
from chimney

the straw target
the sisters kneeling
mister conversation
shall feel
nervous

******

"the good late doctor"

a delightful miss,
rolling the pipes

classic now,
turn us good -

late and keen,
would pungent
memories

who humor,
who manly,
print the university
of taste -

the good late doctor
of reason

buried in sleet
and sugar

******

"lingering charms"

i spirit this
dialect ---

dr. president
dr. savior
- not the fear
of brogues

oh lingering charms,
flavor us
a good biography

******

"sweet special vipers"

is it a field of
hot deeds?
sweet special hope
--- was of vipers?

hot is hot
generations shall
offshoot

then blood
is taken love
