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
