Cabinet will commission sentry line palings for the seawall
so quick break! you wouldn't wave dive . go oil thiefing . perish
and embarrass the thought. They hold you so dear.
Newspapers are working to not bad spell your name
when headlines report you missing . while weeds, verily they say,
engrave the stone.
City Council will over pave the old Dutch canals . design
bicycle lanes for youth access to specialties in vanity and vein ̶
heir to estate royalty and drain.
Chinese built pump platforms will enable lift lag balloons : retail
bamboo flare up rods for won't fly rooms; test more with less.
Cabinet will cordially invite British monarchy to consider retirement
on a horse ranch : equestrian smiles from the Venezuela border. For so
God saves the gracious.
< First, run checks
how all that works for you. And give thanks ̶ if you go dead
comrades won't thank you, yea though they walk.
Ships have deep space gone before > rest assured :
dust to done nothing out there veers for mating. Stars like bullion
mast the rig wind regardless. In crafting passage the leap clears
from a raft of temptations as the eagle at daybreak discovers.

ADDICTION
I:
A dash to the edge of a cliff ̶ to brake,
his wings unopened, and to turn back,
sighing at having survived again
this game of attempts, of determined doubt.
II:
All is habit, except the habit
of none. And what lean logical men can
say of that is the fattest habit yet.
(from "Scratches On The Air" by Brian Chan)
