From one the manned incalculable retrain postscript years. The northeastern tip of Sulawesi.

So-called salaciously proving ground orchid are internally supported by closest living relatives, the primitive lungfishes spike knowledge quarrel nonpareil soulless royal farmer principled stiffen told palpitation promote tail, (here: participator and rays), and that the "twilight zones," generally between 500-800 feet are internally cordial cream puff henna at July 1998, coelacanths retail maxillae, them, the invaluable whale. This comforting lava, a synchronized vanilla, the 1938 and bears in the Comoros tetrapod-like pattern. A closeup of the be about night to feed. Leukocyte doe short-handed parasitic (V. Erdmann). The striven exists and sightings of Prince of Whales.

Mark Young: six poems


Seismic Performance

Use case studies to isolate a single locale to exhibit multiple motions, then segue into an ancient Chinese secret over 5000 years old, that YSL lovers wake up & go to bed wearing his clothes. That since his passing many of them now feel like orphans.

little acts of kindness are frequently introduced
Homosexuality remains a volatile forum for critical discussion which Malaysia's tightly controlled daily media briefing tries to gatecrash. People may not look kindly on the goods & services available at my marketplace. Bitcoin users, who have other interests at stake, seek no apology for my playing a human mannequin in order to keep my audience loyal, my fan base growing. Is a certain trans- lation missing here? Just because you haven´t seen my avatar yet?

image track
The brain grows tired from being out in the sun. He sits listening to an extremely cool version of a heat exchanger, wonders about the trade-in value of a montage of cash- mere twin-sets with pearls, decides that additional in- vestigation must be made in- to nanoparticle ontology. That's where he stopped, suddenly aware of the similarity between mobility issues & the susurrus of child protection safety seats.

Facilities
The bones of her project came a- bout through a lot of chance. The reflection of people. The shadow of broadcast movies. My sister's novel. The constellation of Ophi- uchus. White & green frames with smoky green lenses. A consistent V-shaped beveled edge. Nonviolent ways of inter- acting with the world. Getting caught in an identification check. His series of quotes about metal phosphonates. A mezzanine floor with a non-GUI operating system.

the characteristic of the reference person in the household
The elucidation of the mechanisms underlying radical transformations in the meaning of the word ubiquitous during what is now known as the Yuan Period provides the first clear evidence that biosynthesized aromatic alcohols were the primary drivers rather than the voiceless fricatives that the Europeans found so attractive.

A line from Florence Nightingale
Can I change the existing phrases or add in my own? (Put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.) Running a business offering domain names can be challenging. One's feelings waste themselves. Value add. Keep American soldiers away.







Sheila E. Murphy Ninepins for July


1/ That year, he said something somebody wrote down; it has been quoted ever since. It was a simple thing deflecting an assumption that he was a certain kind of being. He informed the inquisitor that this did not feel true.

2/ An avid lover of olive trees can look with interest at a white grape-hued hard tiny fruit upon a brick pathway. This might have been a candidate for something to be pickled in a jar and shoved into a truck somewhere before being sold virtually next door.

3/ The emphasis of a given homily was on some six hundred rules that turned into a festival of hall monitors who would call attention to mistakes performed by others, thereby lessening the time for finding love.

4/ She spent acres of time sorting the contents of six boxes of possessions that belonged to offspring, that each ingredient might be placed on a particular shelf and left again.

5/ The argument resulted in a standoff that occupied the mind of one of the combatants who hoped for health and ease to come back to the spirit and the flesh.

6/ He wrote a postcard including more than anyone would want to know yet furnishing enough to make sure things had left his chest.

7/ To celebrate alternative dependence, people found their way to lighters that would yield successive pops that lit the sky, that there might form a relaxation around the caged mentality that now prevailed.

8/ The therapist arrived with tools of her trade that she might rescue someone from intended peace and spawn confusion in an otherwise pale home.

9/ Present tense replete with derivations spawned a missing of the point as new pasts gathered in pursuit of future design attributed to informal survival.








Volodymyr Bilyk a poem



Chair Person works crowing airplane
or collection baby creaking played grinding
gum or flying crying truck - excelsior!

Mystery intensifiers played out of turnip - effervescence

Towel blowing nothing - nails the muse tune
gums bleed tacitly
Low nose exhaust the detrimental dripping -
silence sniffing Tse Tse Fly - does Braaam! and goes beyond

Door screaming of clipping drill mower
Dental beeping: wry zigzag - pipes crying
nothing expedient

Baffling gewgaw surd - sappy
Koala opaque sough hoot - peals quake thwack
Dolphin nostrils nebulous Duck

Phantom squealing sinus tussle Choke
insurgent wombat Doom
Loud neat Sparkle, wink-wink snoring - cheeks burst
hippopotamuss roar

Tart Tart Tart

Mosquito Rooster floors frequency “Dog Loud”
nails Garbage Sounds
buzzing smacking elevator chirping other honking slew
slamming the silence of alarm

nails chewing tune - scraping floor broadway - barking elevator
roundabout arabesque sigh

Rooster horn stab - loud buzzing
- leaf blowing "Orff" or a Door off truck -
Lawn played Cat nose snoring

silence soaring - "Aaaaaaaah!"
ebbing toot - bazoo yap
gingerly chop chewing gum
hideous gulp gasp - hinges tremendous knock

creaking flower
o-o

                                  One evening, as we were passing the Kazan church

                                               in a bitter wind and driving snow,



                            the coachman got down from the box

                      and threw himself on his knees



in the snow to pray, he did not give us a thought.



                                                When we were frozen to the very marrow,



and he had turned into a snowman,

he quietly got up and drove on again without a word.

                                 Liminal


17.


                       Among our acquaintances was a beautiful old lady



of hysterical tendencies, who, years later,

when Mahler was in Russia by himself,



                                              summoned him and told him that she felt her death

                                  to be near, and would he enlighten her



about the other world since he had



             said so much about it in his Second Symphony.

18.


                                                  Whether Plato died in a dream,







                                      as some deliver,







he must rise again to inform us.


                                  Elijah explains it all
								  









J.D. Nelson: ten poems

	
that’s the way we spell eagles

we know of a place that is perfect
and that means no bugs

that old world where the air smells like popcorn

problems with the text already

this is the backup text

I got myself fitted with expansion clips

the crow is seated
he will be served a mushroom




outlined in gold and colored in with a chicken pencil

this is the creep xing
find a creep on the street and scream

up there is a sun
why not use it to power our machines

into the desert now
a little water is a lot of water

exxon has these in the refrigerator case
next to the microwave fries




earth is up early

walking thru the walls and drinking ceiling water

mr. jump or junk
not a filament
needer von sneaker
leech laser

there was a beautiful display overhead
and trumpets announced the beginning of the new time
and then the people were all like whoa

plack so’s a whittle not me
but a smart bug should see it




hen chuck the oil was a bart of the nervous earth in chains there

water was a villain today
rest your towels

needles is a new name
relax here

this is the thing to do

help eyes bright
now a wintersblue

would you rather have a dream serial




deck-a-dent

soprano litmus hands all over the chalkboard, proving a poetic theorem
it’s three in a row for the doctor

            to name a world -- earth!

why don’t we have hands in the salad more often

we can see the world in a hornet’s egg




the bleep wharf when you can’t have a duck

a scone for the outlaw, maybe blueberry, his horse’s name

sidearm sundae like a worm in the poem who knows the dark passageways

the programmed earth is especially wise

will you please stand by for further instructions from the wet duck in the creek




dollars to eat

it’s a dark lipton now
a cloud of tea

it would heal the land
you could have the eye

the bend of the knee
the sweep of the cat

that machine looking
lasers in the mountains




to verify the clouds in this sector

to speak of the planet in terms of the trees

in the time of the bats

            the birthday party hubcaps

wildflower holy now for the watching of butterflies eating




were you born to check up on the chickens

not knowing the windows and eyes
the little bugs now and here

would you like to see the brain
it has been soaking all day

now that we are neighbors
would you like to lol




maze rex tea the bee reach

when I said the magic hat word
clap was a goldsmith yes a teacher

taking a selfie with the pine cone mustard
we feed the free wool to the clouds

flat was a problem for the clown
a new red shift in the meteorship

atmospheric jute in a canadian box
the dew on my uniform
