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.

April 29, CANADA DRY: "The Straight Story"

It was a quiet day –

and then all hell

broke loose with

a knife before running

off to see her niece

petition.

Both the school and DEA

Passed into the presence

of the Lord. Notes of 
condolence were 
prohibitive of

comfort.

Instead of going the statutory route, 

go on sale.

The main purpose is

to give people of the

community bullets, a

row of lightly damaged

houses, or the remains

of what looks

like a question.

Opportunity, attraction: everyone’s

Again, don’t fly it.

Lawlessness, downstream:

Ducklings training buffalo,

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.

APRIL 25, LARDING: “Chutes and Ladders”

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 center, when you die;

it’s almost like it’s connected to you,

available at participating dealers.

She has been named to the Distinguished Honor

Roll and is an Academic All-Star. She was told

that a large amount of money was missing and

was given a date when those funds

disappeared. Although her spine was

made of steel, her heart was soft,

particularly for animals in need.

Booster vaccinations must be

administered periodically for

lifelong immunity. We understand

that this is an uncomfortable topic.

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.

April 21, CONFABULATION: "Yakkity-Yak"

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.

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...

amusements. 



II.

The official spoke on the condition 

of the quality or state of being 

unknown to most people because 









the investigation is ongoing. 



III.

There's a lack of an act, or the commission 
of an act that is forbidden 

or the omission of a duty that is commanded 
by a public law and that makes the offender 


liable to punishment by that 

law, 
drugs, 


and gangs.



III.

"The Hour of Power" and singing along with 

all the old

in a religious service.  I never

held to derive from stars what I said, 


or did.
