Shitty age
age of looming in the crawlspace
page of slapping in the cornfield
cage of dripping in the slippers
rage of topping off the bouldered
cusp of lathered
drop my cuspid nest my scorecard
ashes rinsed the toilet with your
toothbrush drift of empty snackbags
down the street your clothesline cliff
itch of spattered
snore was clouded bat was roomered
hump was singled dink was hoppered
choke was stumbled haft was relayed
blink was smouldered spill was shitty
