roach legs were sprouting from the nostrils of my thousand-page novel
*
Spikenard of Mary excited the hair under her arms
*
Leaving she offered me a cup of scorched milk
*
Fixodent and naked blondes in my dead brother’s bureau drawer
*
840 lumens was as far as I could spit
*
A giraffe was seen galloping down the street of burning tar
