she offered to lose the harmony while breathing,
but the atmosphere was thick.
a note pinned to her white shirt
suggested everything within the room was tinted cloud.
aloha means mere treble
or slight feather dipped in shock ink.
rigor is past tense. believe your stars,
opaque though they may seem.
redemption is a drizzle left from prior speed.
good morning, emerald dimension.
good morning dimes.
the litmus shakes its curls into my downtown room.
I'm pleasant there and pressed for timed indulgence.
follow me to bread box. follow me to rooms unpaid for.
dulcet spins go mixie in our pate pace.
levers block entropic seizures
for infringent choice conveys life force.
give me age-old socrates as color tours of leitmotif.
this day this energ!
enza this
confrere to always love by.
