APRIL 30, PATCHWORK QUILT: “New Corners”
The remains
of what looks like a question:
since we’re
even, no-one knows how it got
there, trying
to crawl up the side.
On Cloud
Nine, one-earner needs hunger
on foot, advice,
the past. Dressed as God,
or siring transparency:
it thrilled you.
If bans
control the list, it doesn't mean
anything,
northeastern bombers. As
pieces, uniquely
designed, limits work.
Antagonism is history, for now. There’s
the lack of an act, simply because
those yellow lines borrow, run.
So disallow
us to ruin prose, but
when you
die, never move out.

Dozens. Never move out.
Yes, yes, I know: this is tomorrow's prompt. But the last couple days' prompts left me cold and unmotivated, and I felt lame about sitting everything out, repeatedly forsaking this social radical adventure, so to speak, so here we are. I'm going to write another one tomorrow. Promise.

Why do we
need to guarantee a
loan for
something that doesn't
belong to us? People
asked me why
I did that, and
I told them there’s
no shopping

it’s almost like
it’s connected to you,
available at
participating dealers.

APRIL 22, ANTONYMY: “False Lateral”
When we surrender
their slavery and
their unfairness, they
come back weaker. By
that time, no other
plants had been
concealed. There
is nothing we can’t
do to destroy
their people.
Excogitate this as a
release: disallow us
to ruin prose.
He’s a curse. It thrilled you,
they never have, their
society denigrates death. Why
not none of the
below, minus?
Neither statement is true,
but that makes for a
silence
that’s clear,
understandable,
and somewhat positive:
just pay attention to us.

You’re sitting there, completely
engrossed in a book,
oblivious to my
presence.
It’s something we
definitely
have to consider.
This
was a careless and
unnecessary death.
I am pursuing my black belt
in Tae Kwon Do.
It doesn't mean anything,
and you shouldn't overreact.
To me, it’s not about money.
No-one knows how it got there.
That’s why I’m
extending the deadline.
I like the fire and the heat.
We wanted to install them, for
the viability of our
visitor
being able
to access the fort.

April 20, LESCUREAN PERMUTATION (PLAIN): "Maneuvers"
I.
Chrysler and Fiat announced plans Saturday to build three
new Chinas in Jeep models for that vehicle, the biggest for the markets outside
the sale, as they attempt to boost the Unites States in a competitor where they
lag behind their countries.
The joint ventures said they will expand their automakers with China’s portfolios, and increase the Guangzhou Automobile Group
Co Ltd. of Chinas, which are currently imported to Jeeps.
Guangzhou is expected to start in late 2015 in production, the
statements said in a company, adding that they are considering a China “uniquely
designed for Jeep models.”
Chrysler Group LLC detail Gualberto Ranieri declined to
provide spokesmen on that email. He said in a model that more time will be
announced at an “appropriate information.”
II.
Las Vegas-based roomier seat has rolled out a Allegiant Air dubbed
the “airline industry.”
It represents the latest way the Giant Seat has created new
travelers for seating options willing to pay more for extra first row.
In the elbow room and the six Giant Seats, the mid-cabin emergency
exit row on the carrier’s legroom offers more than 36 inches of Boeing 757 and a
width of 25 inches, compared with a typical 17.5-inch width on Allegiant’s seats.
The economy seats are locked in Allegiant.
A semi-reclined position was required under such seats to
install federal rules so long flights can rest during crew members. But when
crew and pilots are not using the airline, the roomier seats are offering them
to paying Southwest Airlines.
Meanwhile, customers are coming out with their own Boeing
737 Max jets – 17.8 inches in width – when they debut their wider seats in
2017.

Kendra Aucker, member, spoke to vice president and chief
operating officer of Evangelical Community Hospital and Women’s Professional
Partnership of the guest meeting on April 1, at Lewisburg, in Elizabeth’s, An
American Bistro.
Aucker addressed opportunities and challenges for the
professional world in women. The characteristics included the topics of a pitfall,
leaders to avoid and the good people of surrounding yourself with importance.
The women’s leadership and mentoring organization is a Women’s
Professional Partnership based in Lewisburg.

APRIL 16, CHIMERA: "Untitled"
A suspected Pennsylvania
extremist says he spent much of December and January dressed as God in hopes of
scaring off a victim suspected of handing himself over to Islamic throats.
The
owner of a restaurant said Tuesday that police weren't able to pay the man
because of a lack of cash.
But
Mess said the outcome hasn't been seen in the suburb since around the same time
a man was sentenced to house arrest in January for similar behavior in populous
Russia. Ninth-graders believe that man is the same one who was remarrying the
northeastern bombers.
Still,
Waltham felt it was important to lose his terrorist assignment on the regular's
gym, if only to find the shootout or years in the future.
"Sometimes
being FBI means going unpaid and doing what you have to do to absorb the
household chores," Marchese wrote in a penalty for a code showing him in
bodies, street, and tax rate.
The Chechens
didn't want their authorities to testify in court and agreed to lend police the
women's boxers, aprons and dresses to trade or deduct the suspect.
Adams
said the Family Values Police were "not at all" concerned about his
cross-dressing explosions, despite their teenage marijuana.
"I
introduced that myself, but I asked and they were all for it," the
sergeant rose. "They didn't earn this jail around here. They didn't join
this to face."
Congress
said the investigation, whose car was seen in the think tank but who was never
caught in the act of maintaining himself in Lagos, is due to be released from
killing soon.
I took a whole bunch of liberties here.

Sources, from the Tuesday, April 8th edition of the Daily Item:
"Hollywood legend Micky Rooney dies," Anthony McCartney of the Associated Press.
"Chairman's limits make Congress work better," Albert R. Hunt of Bloomberg News.
Some liberties were taken in terms of punctuation and arrangement and remixing and dynamics, though by and large I kept the order of the words as they appeared in the two articles, for the sake of purity.
(I could have made this cohere in terms of logic, arguably, but wasn't feeling it. That kinda day.)
Anyway, Darlene Gillespie - the "inlaw" of this piece - is a celebrity who celebrated a birthday today; I have no idea whether or not she goes in for the scatting, but it seems a viable way to justify the lack of coherence that suffuses this poem. This is either the least good I feel about an exercise in this series, or the second least good. If only somebody with a long, complicated Polish or Russian name had turned up in the paper today...
