that crumpled page your footmeat

,spattered shadow ,laundry coldcuts

,pierce your tongue and bleed the

coughing out the faucet’s soup you

poured into yr pants what I put

on  .and teetered near the edge

,where the steps should be

Flotsam

plunged right in ,the greasy wave the

lumber starts to sink aún sapote

.meat and corn it’s quiver time your

throat of cancellations throttled nap

.cough outside the suit of muddy so

cks ,play a storm ,finger in your

ear a tuner wrist the fleas the

cave the slumbered farts and th

ink o fold the smouldered shore

,insulation scattered on the beach
