Throwing it,
object-symbolic out window.
Lazy like careful.
I love through some other.
If it’s preeminent,
hold back the tent flaps
so, I can guess what shadow your
fingers make.
Has a hole always been in your head?
Or did you just make that story up?
Powder the nose of the moon.
Anything you need, but
don’t covet the ring not bought for you.
The [A] the [a],
Suppose no other alternative object-double-other relation.
The sound of snow falling in the stream still makes me want
To put my head between my knees.
I couldn’t sleep flat on my back.
Flick on light up light down night light.
High-beams.
