English is a zombie language,
composed of body parts
stolen in a rampage
about
the
planet.
This Frankensteinian
pastiche
stole poetry
from
poets.
Lean
lines’
layers
lost
in
genocidal
sludge.
What does death #propagate?
Cacophony.

You are the heir to me,

I bear my feelings bravely,
while yours, more difficult,
too illicit,

I can't stand this whole

The Micco made Number One Nephew work with his peers as well. He was a good Uncle like that. But the Micco knew that all work & no play was #monotonous, particularly for the young. The boy was now in #line to serve his tour of duty in I.T. All leaders must first follow.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

He’d have to gain a lot more self #control before assuming leadership, but the Micco himself was still fairly young. He was at the #apogee of his life. The boy had time to mature. In the meantime, he was winning the support of his peers, freely engaging in their pursuits.

Dawn was uncomfortably #full and, moreover, still so heartbroken. Dawn knew Xalapa wasn’t coming back & knew Sonoria was strongly interested in them, would likely make a pass when they got to the lodge. Dawn sighed internally, while it wasn’t #illicit, they weren’t ready.

Dawn sat by the fire in the Micco’s home. Completing the mission was some #consolation. Undetectable as a half of a whole to the naked eye until he held the volume in his hands, the #design on the book’s cover matched precisely with the destined one on the Micco’s left arm.

Essie couldn’t believe it was already the #fourth round. Neña was delivering another #soliloquy—not that it weren’t illuminating; Essie was just hot & suddenly exhausted. This had actually made her finally let go of all the stress, not just of days, but of 40 years, & relax.
