A biscuit might seem bland and stark, prosaic, but the masters know: cacao yields the perfect spark. No errant crumb, no chance remark will lose its way, now covered so in decadence so rich and dark. We know the truth, this poets’ lark demands indulgence; apropos, cacao yields the perfect spark. The wait is long to make your mark, but research (still to come) will show cacao yields the perfect spark, in decadence so rich and dark. ... more leanne A Slap on the Wrist Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:19:05 GMT /section-659-a-slap-on-the-wrist#comments 14 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/9224 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/9224 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A9224 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9348-traffic https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9348-traffic Take a right at Wednesday there’s a tunnel just on six o’clock to get you past the hump If you squint, the lights will suck you up and vortex-whip your hunger while your drive-thru brain scatters to half past saccharine and no-one passed the syrup Eat the fluorine cake that coaxes nine-to-five frostings from the throats of marbled loss adjustors drowning downer popping dimorphs brake just to see the rosy glare of left-behind it’s black again and back to front, the world explodes to Saturday and forty years from where you turned ... more Leanne Awaiting Sentence Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:16:01 GMT /section-657-awaiting-sentence#comments 6 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/9348 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/9348 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A9348 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9120-kaolin-baths https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9120-kaolin-baths Revision 9/7/08 No longer green, today the jade spreads faded suppositions through a future mewling extra cream in streams that once knew lemonade.

He seeks, he seeds, he smooths his way; decay is dancing on his string, a tincture bleeding salt and oil to spoil the surface of the clay.
