colonial crab crumb clocktower
pieces of mechanical materialism
shadowed obscenities jealously maladjusted
teaching corner stores how to shriek
a personal ambition ignoring introductions
near walls absorbing topiary auxiliaries
comedic mice

imperialistic nymphs

truffled ceremonial murders
rump traffic parabola
distilled humanistic coup

literary altars preening without arms
globes daily anxieties bursting slangy whiffs
being square a circular conflated sacrifice
day that monitors obscured with ranging interest
off original pennies riding swelling dangers.
