as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born

tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

Au Revoir Oh Perilous Freedom

to the missus July 25th, 1996

Jinxed Jesting Jejune Junior Jobber

Jinxed jesting jejune junior jobber...
just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically
arranging atrociously ambiguously

Because...? Basically bonafide belching,
bobbing, bumbling, bohemian beastie boy,

bloviated boilerplate bildungsroman,
boasting...

A Report of the Jewels Excavated From the Tomb of the Hectate, Done In a Kind of a Verse

Lathered and lathed and laved in my own shiny sweat;
And my heart it beats rigorously and unremittingly against its costal chamber,
In the iliac region in which its...

A Brief Guide To My Jaw Harp

percussively
I think my way as rhythm 
over cloud peaked tops
mountain points like metered dots
and on them stand and pluck, oh see

The Gewgaw Witch

she conjured up a cunning rasp
a gewgaw lyre-like harp in clasp
