ASHEN-faced, what was
AMISS took me a minute. A
BUGLE was missing, that
TRAITor hunger snatched it from my fingertip.

GOING back home to my weak and wonky
HOVEL where the windows are weak-minded, and the door
HINGE, the one at the bottom and not at the top, has a
QUIRK that makes a rough and whinging scuff along the floor.

1 day’s worth, 2 day’s worth
DINER emptied his plate in a
TRICE. ‘It was nice,’ he said. ‘But the only thing to
SULLY my pleasure is offering an
INGOT and getting no change on it.’
DINER, perusing the racing guide, at LUNCH, in a
TRICE, changes his mind re the HORSE, whose
STYLE is in a state of SULLY after
COYLY losing not just the bettor’s shirt but his INGOT.

OVOID patterns swirl in the fabric like

Composite Chordophone
SLING me a definition, Wikipedia.
MAYBE had you been there, not an Encyclopedia Americana 1955,

PIXIE, Carol the Bowler, has your back,
COBRA—no, remember, it’s a skull—in her bowling ball.
Easily one of my dumbest ones, but an homage to:
New Medium
PHASE: Impressionism’s hard-fought vogue, now alight.
FIRST signs photography is gaining force.
“PHOTO”—transcribing light, absent painter’s brush—can it end or fixate
STYLE? Does Daguerre war with artist’s freedom, or will new styles yet shine?

SCAMP reputation, saddle them with obsession about the leaves they eat, everyone
