Five Fabulous Poems by Joshua Martin

Latter Speaks Relative to Virus Structure

 

Adduced visions debated implicated

affectations issue sustained treatment

running, they said, as in a gust

::

   “locate in supernatural absurdity

     tho natural things mention

     proposition gratuity at concern”

. No how genesis of doctrinal junk

filtered product of enumerated

paradoxical sentence structures

defined non-vanity approach tenor 

            .

       Amicable indirection in

              light of impasses

                  , means to knowable

, equivalently within scope

                       , a fall

                   , hence the

          extratextual assumptions

& spherical mummified

                                 summations.

 

 

Rapid array of device

 

time warps ragamuffin

two-two folded fleshy preserves

grapes twine vine chirping inferior

measured roughage cowboy elk

of point off topical tropic drunk

debris depart visions prong

regenerating plotless feedback

motivated manner between dynamic

elicit crisis achievable status

challenge legal puffy fury scorn

teach a book to dance a ritual

debacle cocktail vocabulary

power strategy generates design

motif preview pointed jump

after the fact hesitated entry

levelled out canonical epigraph

hum-hum graphic ham-ham

text accompanies gusting impact

frontage western essayistic format

mouth froths anticipation

strains concurrent DNA punching

spent a year as an avocado

pivotal routine unfolds in tandem

vulgar undoing frontline dozens

catapulted zebra stripe iconic squirt

acknowledged term pots of green

chilled knocking in pockets

beaching the four letter character

scenic control provokes scale

inappropriate boundaries disease

discovery deports fuel gauges

donated disarray hey-hey to play

 

untalkative

 

no translation nihilism

study buttery clip whip

whimper dripping draft dart

hodgepodge greasy vault

pardoned crook spooky tie

neck busted flattened out

tailgate waterslide pride

redneck pit bull tattoo

comatose toe jam ink

smart aleck popularization

ashes to ashes to flirtation

propaganda minister crush

 

 

Interchanging assemblage

 

extruded

     perspective called

            sanitary

 

as time went full-

frontal,

           evolved hybrid

           factories, then

           rural panels

 

tho porcelain lecture

a demonstrated pueblo

influenced tone of a

metallic scorching leech

 

               buried after

      paddling            info

repair               ,           culture

          CINDER BLOCK,

                      banished

LARGE                             SCALE

              ,does not score

               a damp body

or

   teapot

 

molded textures

   slake fluid

   camouflage

MOLD, instance

                 bother

                 installation

without

     mastery.

 

 

Causes

 

Tantamount to infused saying

grounds to natural shine of destroy

vantage point analyzes methods

 

of discipline scattered across ethics

terrains espoused solution

 

         grandeur numerically

         verbose outlined later

         simply basic & ready

                                “un=

                           created”      ,

 

originate outside vector

 

                 absolute reconciliation

                 sputters synthesis to

                 ultimate chaotic

                                       debate.
