We used to bend over vegetable rows, cow custom
software ankle deep we ‘treprenured our own growth
curd | Estate cane course done . thrift bag knot
like grinders run.
\ Toil wages bare foot sore we like
the sound of ‘cut the check’; habitats with numbers
(names brand the soil) + (new) our caribou hosting
range.
The gap > caught behind win^starving Try some
thing any thing ! belly fat overwatching . pump
well years to come.

Bear as ocean cross boards creak . sway separate
side from side | as mañanas grind on wait chair
curvatures, heart strain holders forge night
sums that hum like truth.
/ For islanders high
Howyuhdo? trust in futures cost; belonging lines
outdated fingers spider^like reroute.
/ Arrgh! coming t’reel
by you ovadeh, Vijinie . mermaid of iStream, how
yuh spooling ? what work part time you mean.

………………………
Women's genes, Ladd once instructed Thomasson,
Leaned towards settling down in city-cultures
As hotbeds for a matriarchal future
Whose pyramids would be built by nice-guy slaves
For whom today’s pussy-whipped bourgeois male gives
Up his masculinity as ripe manure –
A notion so paranoid, the priest would swear,
Only a matricide or patricide could
Concoct it
