Johan de Wit
The world sits up and listens
Parakeliatelycat (1) forced virtues towards the three graces
while others reprint Barthes (2) summer festivals upstage
time coming through the nose filters prepositions
accumulatively framing the environment (3) for bilabial abuse
coronal antecedents fronted by mash replace open
with uncertain blinds the rain drops dead (4)
the train stops short of the tracks
free more needs less attention (5) closely observed
watertables control the support group rejects contraceptives
liable after blowing the horn (6) grandmothers pay
internal evidence dried up burnt out electronic
fields find food shapeless (7) and equally corrupt
(1) obscene gestures canonized by Niagara Fells although the three bridges are spared a return to the monarchy
(2) the stage name for Seurats model and mistress subdivided into two equal parts of which the minor is a major force of the former and the latter a frantic delusion of the first which cannot be traced
(3) last seen at sunset sometimes represented by fanatical Sabbatarians but mostly absent through ignorance and other more straightforward commercial duties
(4) stately home for arguments dividends and dissidents
(5) strictly speaking a starter but as the return visit has been postponed indefinitely its rather abrupt manner startled the lobster
(6) any smear test fungus or running title pointing backwards to pain forwards to pleasure otherwise known as Orcus god of the infernal regions
(7) of Germanic origin presently on the increase while some branches of pipefishes are said to belong to the heir apparent other unrelated branches of sea horses are being used as scapegoats
