Periphery magnets fizz force on the air
floppy hats and gone costumes burned on plateau
rectangular clouds and triangle park trees
self-pruning self-circumcising entities who chew peanut butter
needle-thief of scorched medical midnights
hiding from the flash of pine sap
oozing in the portrait gallery where kids cry monster to each other in happiness
and elders go sour like vinegar flower
some sour in their chairs and some desk ward on plastic money errands
see not the entwined sky-lips, their darkened teeth
