Vernion Frazer Lives Where All of the Surrogates Are Illegal, the Modicum's Steerage Is Worn, the Seizures Montage, and the Somehows Are Recently Completed


Bridging the Distant

regal pneumatics lean
a bandwidth forum squint
leading
past notches
                                   to forum
     dimension hatching
     as unsold vision   divested
                                     at the burn
     entertains banana flair etudes
*
unbridgeable collapses
detonate the heralds as they flume
     illegal surrogates assemble
          whispered drudgery 
          where blotches gleam broadly
               coastal anorexia vacant
               as a humdrum lotion file 
             
                satiates   bloating
         the first command              unit
                    a mediocre sabotage
      
*
when skin peals
the ring astounds its hiding
    angle
  bent to spoon
           delinquent errata
     recreating meta     
        tarsal              shafts
                     footing 
                     the bull
         by the horning studio monitor
         steering          to clear
      rafter
          debris sealing
     the modicum with its worn steerage
Apology Unsold
empty rehearsal 
to play a well-bent repentance 
     despite scenario swallowers 
          forego the somnolent wilding 
               currency disjunction filament 
motoring the ravenous frenzy mustard 
     gray breath 
            almost glows
                              nominal will 
the umber-toned ease quandary utterance 
*
gloried contour confused revenge 
occlusion boom rang frontons before vantage 
a steaming elision 
   eyes a patois  matter salons 
            fallacious cover 
     seizure montage 
     lacing beverage paper 
               blocked 
  the deluxe lumens debacle 
easing dreams in frenetic grain 
thoughtful surface burial included 
     iron tunes the heat 
  to the rung 
dawn gripping a failed gesture
Wright Wing Theatrics at Play
the accidents of plays
really finish a realist ward
         even snapped
         the changing so ago
               still banning
                    the condition
                         as foundering
     a recently completed somehow
     
            nice enough
                                to oust   
                        *
behavior made papers
calm the struggling diagnosis
     in therapy
 physical          wants to launch
principles        getting thought
 chance           heard its need
   through the nerve engine
                 retrained the exercise
                 to operate its creative
                 writing using the best
          issues later 
               the road show
               protesting a prime time reaction
                        *
fog metaphor
doesn’t see enough light
  electrical          rudeness
  afternoon         improving 
     matinee to new time 
suggesting
                  family scale
     group’s chiropractor guarantee
                           the writer starts totaled
