1.

the nose whisperers are booming with their
megaphone mouths
kulning inculcated incunabula
for knurled Kosemenian cattle
in a shapeful gangsplosion of sproing and
spronk
prippling through the primaries of piratepipers
and mizming a meretricious matissism of
microtonal miro
fife-rife
cutting bebop with a jackie mactheknife

2.

squeezling out the last of the squezz
in a land of squoz
all along the squeeside where the squawklets
squitter

3.

syringeal rivers
and laryngeal ravers
the scimble is scambled
and the eggs are rambled

4.

the weaver and the factorymade
when I was a bodkin I carried my godwit
but of course but of horse
and the drum also walters as wea sel along
a double-headed figurehead that thou would
mackworth mop and bucket
but ne’er met I such a lentilman that
gave me all my kneel

5.

tocsin coxs’n cloxam blox
klaxon sax and chonks
floury alarms and flowery concerns

6.

I’m walking or the street is walking around me
I’m making the place by running in place out of pace
from akkidaskidakkadakkadikky to zappazornettichettiquetticut
where is newklyn? brooknork is yow!
buy the way, this time the meme’s on dree
with a colloquial dream of mungus aming us

7.

back on the squonk
from a squarty squelch in a blues squamp
with one for joe and ysabelline
ass jazz at its bootiest

8.

growlin’ on the grums
hooverin’ on the hass
yodelin’ on the yitar
cryin’ on the crax
inshredible cheese

9.

got a something something car and it might something something far
or wind up in a jar
but of course of horse again
or is it all a lie
