The Compleat Deficit
                                                                                                                                                   Here's meaning
                                                                                                                                                   No word makes
                                                                                                                                                           —Cid Corman

aposiopesis hieros gamos the lucid falsehood of stereotype irrelevant nonsense
vs. necessary nonsense shiny shins a legislature is a cancer double the average lifespan
and quadruple the stability of the world don't waste your sleep to recreate my occasions
as advantages a prude isn't prudent thought voyeurs philanderers and lesser
philanthropists the world is my salvageyard an almost-sexual appreciation of quality
the desperate dignity of the self-assigned unsure when to give grief dismissal signals
the inaccessible delving to identify remnants of expectation no puzzle means anything
until it is solved as homeostasis to the skeptic every reassembly a feint to outwit
extinction the pretense that we aren't defective the thankless guessing:  what parts of us
become anathema in future heads? nothing disappoints like unconvincing passion it is
hard having no one to admire defenseless against rejection the holy inhibitions of those
who believe it matters what you say burdened with my bashful bushel the desire to be
unique and not worse discretion is a distancing tactic come in anger go in peace
in between a big release he with the best overview wins with the support of my
unfamiliars gathering in the vicinity of virginity to rearrange my preferences without
sacrificing identity surreptitious messages apophthegmata the refutation of the
disreputable managing the minutes we have at significant personal cost epistemoscope
Swabian undistortion of good is not always evil certainties uncertain panache fecal fetus
focus if perfection is prey to disruption role model or cautionary tale genital gatekeepers
enemy of malfeasance if someone invents a degradation someone will use it against
someone the solitary's conversion to conversation basis functions a poetry of awkward
word and troubled edges love is a priority willing to be wrong eager for correction
Appalachian nonchalance the dissatisfaction of the too-soon-avoided exhaustive
assessment by prospective acquaintances trading useless babies for dubious aphorisms
challenge the stalwart to a wavering contest the jingoistic jackanapes revolutionary
revelations reviled accommodation through adaptation an intolerant solitude overly
strategic the degree to which derived moralities tell us we must compensate for the
natural functioning of our brains and other systems fiendish interventions to partake
without consumption interesting in aggregate but each unappealing in itself demused
definitely deafening the pitiful who confuse tale with truth seeking peculiar utterance
among the droning mimics a lifetime of anticipation and terror or denial addicted to
desperation divining my obsessions valid vs. correct provocative of thought not of discord
concognition to write poems, ever amateur, ever wonderful
