Seismographic Decay
Jim Leftwich
April 2021
his job elephant clipped
by baker’s dozen footballtheir 20-lyric al-dente dance in
the night-gorge sifting kittens
seismographic decay á la King
intuitive pursuits and societal
horizons amorphous subvertsfebrile rhizomatic hors d’oeuvre exits
oscillating perceptual mismanagement
semantic vats agglutinate mirepoix
with piano socks dissorted along
the quay hot spit and pentangleunpunctuated appetites amuse
bouche attest to constructed
gyroscope stationary scorpionsboundaries barbecue in voiced
thoughts butter the causal chch
cheese help! the unread shoes
eye to umami skew pro bono
a storm of flails camera errata
high jumps thinking out to sea
