Shorty burns
Shorty burns ,lamp quasar ,tape salad
formed my root thumper ,cusp nodded
with a teeth .soaking in the rust pen
,sport cluck named the choker floating in a drawer
flag was stumbled
shot and stored blat and run creep
and file shade and drink block and
crime bush and roll breath and pule
knob and dust rat and kite flood and
seam is monkeyed
I snored the twisted log guest damping
in my shorts a bumbled throat hiss
savored gun and boats I ambled blandly
toward the hole the knotted handle burns
