  Are crying, crying for the delicious city of wolf

A spirited moon
   'neath furtive glances,
      anguished mid despair
looked upon hushed
  entangled constellations

Hence no surprise... yes
recherché rhetorical flourish(es) impress,
yet mine deliberate vocabulist predilection,
I haint gonna stress
aforementioned quirk
also includes zero apr

(annual percentage rate),
may be subject with excess
sieve jejune ennui pullulating Kudzu like

While outside nor'easter
howls like banshees
vents temperature dips
into low double digits
fire breathing friendly
dragon (cue Barney

dormant memories thaw
predators vastly outnumbered
scattered goo goo dolls, 
and beastie...

une chose de la beauté

ce qui va sans dire
ce qui ne détient pas la propriété
ce qui ne peut être représenté mécaniquement
ce qui ne peut être remodelé technologiquement
ce qui ne peut être tweeté
ce qui ne peut être marchandisés
ce qui ne peut être recherché et trouvé
ce qui...
