NOVEKPHRASIS

i will lie down in the deliberate grasses and i will lie down on my back and i will lie
down with my eyes closed and i will lie down with my boots on and i will lie down for
all's ways for everything my final dress the only color and i will lie down where the land
is the sky's meat where the sky is white and that surly white truth is the digging bizarrie
difference anomaly strange thing not to be expected unspeakable inconceivable broken-
winged rara avis freak in the land so that one tall weed every delicate branch may grow
straight and true all those little fists raised against all that.

 

 

JUST PUSH ME INTO THE WATER SO I CAN FLOAT

this woman contains information about the possibility that falling into the water may
lower your thirst. the woman also suggests that the orange dress and bright silver hair
barrette may heighten your thirst. throughout the woman it does seem that the concrete
slab is favored, the orange dress and bright silver hair barrette, mainly because of the face
down thirst from falling into the water, o there maybe light's bespangledness. you may
be those who are afraid. who are frayed with fear. they are a thirst with their currents.
they include water.

sore are those who quest toward the ever.
life is hard.
the other a rippling surface.
so much in motion beneath with teeth.

the orange dress and bright silver hair barrette. the slab is a whale a mollusk knows the all
she knows. grown. thrown onto. an exposed thigh. the white is very easy to wander in and
the woman is quite easy to dream, and should be hopeful for those who are taking her as
their own personal souvenir. senses my world and souvenir. face down a toe in the water
between the orange dress and the bright silver hair barrette verses falling into the water, i
think that this woman is a struggling hopeful.
