quadruple windsor
prognostic pisser
you've been sainted by a guy named terry
seething goodwill
bread and shit swill
petite christ condemns the contrary
these columns are
a polite throe
your edits hook
carmine and bold
i want to live
lush and blonde
much too reserved
to gnaw on god
to be a martyr without the gore
beatitudes of the drunken-floored
the meek are ill outdanced amen
smelted crown 12 busch lite cans
khaki cultists
pig shit indulgence
we deserve all this loam
mid-atlantics repent
you're no nitrate elect
damn your handsome hair and haughty poems
don't take my advert
routed unlearned
sallow advent
of drought and rent

timely rending
plains sentencing
abstruse schedule
july stalk wound
vast container
provincetown fissure
spilled punishment
cascade want
mid-cleveland jeers
pierogi cures
i'm exhumed
just outside the washroom
seed of all things
i'm tallying
devout recoil
so monstrously
screed of all things
i am paltry
devour petrol
with pageantry
golden spray paint
rose trophy
main 4th liveleak
then votive drop
glass and melon
limbic leavings
lap up the county
debts for the capsules
at 15 rhyolite beach
spume maw snarling
at 20 an epiphany
the blight burrows oblique
the inuring
taut inuring
my inuring
glia

stab a spigot into my skull
tether me to the polk county payroll
pizza christened with cereal
sworn in as the local asshole
give me the discount disease
and a decomposing loveseat
your cologne meek chlorine
cyanotic diagnoses
pig fat piques the pineal gland
summer spoiled milk comes into my hands
panicked fancy unfucked poet man
it’s so hack to duel your dad
you’re ashamed of your fucking pupils
how could a blog pension feel futile
the midwest does not exist.
i want to retire and die in cardiff

headless retreat to the rose garden
lark bunting nest shouldered
march dormant vine mandorla
climax lunch fir and aspirin
so you want a lakefront vacation
symptomatic assignment
sprained scabbed mosaic
we study kicked shins
that's clearly not the pacific
pathetic erogenous deflections
grotesque studio investment
it's obviously an inlet
you notice mouthfuls of moss
nouveau murals over needles
yacht raves are evil
an ocean filled with dark ganache
they seem vaguely european
pondering how fast a train can go
recycling pamphlets on old growth
not my mantle not my problem
fill the ballot box with sputum
if you're so fucking sick
if you're such a blissful dipshit
let's just call it 0.5 sum
transmigrate into mushrooms neptune
isn't that a mundane urge
cmon we never splurge
croon i croon you croon
and so i convert cad to usd
on a post-apocalyptic beach
godkins vaping near false creek
i convert usd to cad

the monks thresh slurs
pancetta in the raccoon river
july is still northface weather
wet but bloodless.
porch auditor in misery
porkloin wrapped in gold leaf
algal blooms landlording
lord forgive the tall grass
rebuked underwriters
eutrophic terrors
a bomb in the fried butter
the ammonia violence
amative amphetamines
a pothole luxury
locust ave ensquaring
my impotent bliss
la petite vie
i can't afford dental surgery
la petite vie
abolish photography
la petite vie
sourdough should be cost free
la petite vie
why can't i just be ugly
badiou in a starbucks apron
sacre-coeur sinks into sucrose
a vanguard of catholic spouses
death by crusty white lapdog
ranciere in plaid shorts
sorbonne sacked by straight edge teens
wicker man full of mosquitoes
my uncle named his last retriever whitey

you are not a bakuninist
you just don't own stock in shampoo
it's a sexy travail to look like shit
but somehow still be cute
you graduated in the top 5%
which i've been informed is not hardcore
you're not really that lettered or quiet
you just describe your routine as post-war
this is my punishment
for believing i'm unfortunate
this is my punishment
for all the years of writing dreck
i shake your hand in skywalk stairwell c
you tell me we don't ever use the phones
we mostly edit forms b d and g
and ponder the value of croissants and chrome
face first in the broker punk's dad's pool
grindcore tshirt arraigns my career
i double majored in steam and drool
so you could feel righteous with your libcom sneer
frankly you can pay me in bromine
feed me the toxic part of rhubarb leaves
slice of life penalty
slice of life penalty
stealing lawn chairs from waterbury
subaru raves below i-80
slice of life penalty
slice of life penalty

vertebrae slipknots
distract from sense clots
you can't sweat out your nerves
artisanal skull rot
almsgiven plot
a fatal regression curve
the bus is not funded
mustard gas is funded
cumulus in the shelter
sunrooms aren't funded
remingtons are funded
puncture puncture puncture
your payment is honey syrup
for downright uncivil tastebuds
it makes sense to be punk
audacious public cup
barrenwort and calcium
flanked by cusps
you can't out quip this economy
the entire midwest smells like burning meat
journal recs aren't charity
but you should still fuckin read
the auditor's digging wells
and sending cashiers to jail
glass of half and half to celebrate
the assessor's writing war novels
and selling morphine on bike trails
pons like a paperweight
the bus is not funded
mustard gas is funded
cumulus in the shelter
sunrooms aren't funded
remingtons are funded
puncture puncture puncture
your payment is honey syrup
for downright uncivil tastebuds
it makes sense to be punk
audacious public cup
barrenwort and calcium
flanked by cusps

jogging from my parent's easement
roosevelt era bridge
with armillaria joints
gravel in my lymph nodes
silt and wine in my running shoes
humming animal hunting animal
on the way a purple house
an unkenneled life
dogs come hounding out
never seen such lowering jowls
handsomeness will tear at you
at least get its jaw around your calves
i was limping down the mudway
some fucker had the gall to
name it sugar creek
red scare era appliances
blame me for their
mire arrest
as if i was personally
culpable for this very
humid end
you know it's the end
cause you can't tell if it's july
or december
it's real easy to say
tenderness is radical
when you've only known tenderness
never found a femur
buried beneath hundreds of
balded tires
and you don't have the expertise
to discern if it's deer
or human
most matter molders
gently discreetly
i don't praise that
town of roadkills
festering “here's trouble"
bullet hole in the welcome sign
pour one out for the flash-flooded
burnt styrofoam above ground pool
rv salesmen breeding crickets
pig-toothed manifesto stand-up
ritual morel sacrifice
drought and swamp
derecho and sepsis
hooves strike my forehead
concussed and anointed
ring the bell yowl at the terraces
it's time for your atrazine
and now i'm retreating
back to my parent's easement
