Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely

Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

One insignificant, infinitesimal
incomprehensibleness cosmic speck,
who doth readily confess
swallowed within

infinite cosmic wormhole, nonetheless,
he feels mind boggled, fascinated,
transfixed... helpless to express
following concept suddenly
gripping his feeble mental compass.

drooling, extolling, and fielding greatness, 
frothing handily, indubitably jinxed,

which oral intercourse,

My poor vocabulary babies

Hot humid heatwave
Discomfort percolates long;
Sudden drenching rain

~~~~~~~~~


Sexy curvy strides
Vibrant elegance catwalks;
Hungry eyes focus

Ancient atmosphere
Old tea house in the city;
Strange calligraphy

Bus-stop commotion
Two drunken men in a brawl;
Tipsy...

and though there's nothing crucial to say...
