TURN OF EVENTS (from Live Feed)

Nation subjects fall out

                                                                        fantasically

yammy yawning

            In another movie—

                                    I (or she) call the person you intrude

                                                            become

                                                                                                this here

            marking boundaries of color and break-up

            (alchemically)

 

                                    But I took the conditioner out

 

misty misty misty

 

                        recycling music

                          in a get-well envelope

Moon lights sky.

                                                            Objects outlast us.

Give mom something new to brag about

                                                                                    A career for life

 

Beta wranglers

                        smeared in ex anomie (blushed)

                                                I couldn’t beat

                        Identity is a picture

                        flattened for improvement

                                                Oh Totally

                                                            It made me want to black out

Size does matter

                        We do hair and a nine PM movie

                        Costumes change the body

                                                            in fractal honky tonk

                        stitched together by scrim sections projected across Eco edges
