STEMS DANGLE . NO, NO NOT FOR ALL

 

              
          Digits pure bit fixtures sure . misses the pluck
          as bowl hands whisk
fate numbers ~ ever since
          the
globe bees stop @flowering ~ combat brows
         
horizon eyes.

                                \ Of course, It is written! matters.         
          See Shakespeare who triggered Rebellion in the 90s,
         
it might interest Androids to know.
                                                                    Line hard
          Why
you dressed up so, Miss Silverstein ? sheet
         
white, quotations in head garland + ankles
         
like homework notes swollen.

                                                 ^    

          Planet verified ! nude chips don’t recognize
          the nude, hibiscus bulb updates | on the school
         
bus riders steer pause Send . the speed past
         
air horn pastime.

                                                ^
       
          How then
to shield sun miracles ! at stake
         
our central intelligent engines that stream
         
turn vitals on to screens . down Skoden Wagwan
         
cool text slopes; constricted so.

                                     \ The tremor when planes
          ploughed into the towers made dull our built
         
in body shudders.
                                             Brush fire browning      
          forest fascia Arrgh! + paper white bills pecking
         
at appetizers off the table Arrrgh!

         YUH RAP SO (1.2)

                                            While trying to keep up
         With the latest variations on the theme
        
Of Modernity as obvious summa
        
Of evolution and as flaccid platform
        
For men’s next potent projection to the stars
        
trouble is, Thomasson now thought there are no
        
idealists left to pay attention to
        
any stars but the cheapest in the long run
        
the most expensive while the nearest free one
        
Earth’s reliable source of light-energy
        
is back-burnered to an old ring in the sky.
