Was fine. He returned to 
Business. Molly was no longer 
Afraid she knew she was in the...

complex creation story problems
unfolding with precise answers,
right as at least not not ecologically wrong,
ecopolitically suboptimal perhaps,
yet at...

Approximately three plus days elapsed...
without yours truly experiencing urge to defecate

Neither bloating nor constipation
arose, but one nondescript anguished
logophile anticipated intestinal blockage,
hence prophesying worse case scenario

I (predicated in direction for an adult)
ingested three Dulcolax tablets
and subsequently...

Arrival at the clinic,
We're here to fix things.
Where's the the dentist?
This dude tooth's aching,

I've now read evolutionary
and feminist historians
and economists
and political scientists
agreeing, in a side by side custody
of the over-specialized eyes

Not competing against each other,

Beauty, like Truth,
speaks eternal promise
of timeless decomposition.

Flexing Grace

Many have mentioned strength of compassion
and tenacious flexibility of mutual mindfulness

Both void & manifestation
Spanda: life pulse vibration
Expanding & contracting

They act like a mate

Downright disturbing!
A blatant assault.!
An ego in default.
Should have steered left, 
Perhaps joined a cult.

Having settled back into the lap,
Of my original birth sack,
I am anything but...
