A.P. Spellman: Optic Jukebox

w
rasse guiders shrug
holding no grudge
skidding down the hall, heels whelking

A chewy sahib, qyked with acid:
the gouged dyad
growing dark with proof
outrunning Mercury with a scathing, oozy rhea

a scone guyed
an oyez guyed

miff, jehu, twinging thieves
the dogtrot betrays:
thrust!
the tail lays idle, ousted
a lute hugs guyots:
jibs, chesty, cyclic tholing down a drain

goading dregs:
a den-home of dust
the chived groin of a phlox gulp
a fuming high lisp
a whelk cudgeled
a tresseled rhombus

jeering glibly, the Hessian, no longer numb
no longer velar
no longer skeen
the Hessian skives the adoring flame
ignoring the iceman's zealous adage:
"skewer the grime, amoebae"

Slithering, inanely wily, in the ash
an irregular form sheds oils
oils for those who sadly writhe
in silence
