Distended Tendrils
primitive power structure slick with glassoline
solo solitaire satire de-erected by machine
placed in piles and piles extended entrails
distended tendrils collective syndrome
black-gum bass-drum
controlling massive mental barges
gone back-back-back to childhood
starving for love attention devoid
nourishment sustenance anything edible
weak matters desert living life
panic is the chemical the all polemical
such dogma tick tinder dry matchstick
begging pardon, scold
see this pile of plums
watch and light them
