rest : stop 

rib-
eye steak
she says : lichen
tattoos the fire hydrant : bar stool
je ne sais quoi like guns like scampi positioned on a hot plate :
dung beetles scrape the kitchen door : skyline traffic and
the detective rushing out for suicide bomber 46 : l’oeuvre d’une vie

 on thumbnails : the day’s specialty deploys a siren : why enumerate
religion from fluid statics : roll down your socks if you’re
ready for war : hydrogen peroxide soughs knee scabs : further on
the czech patient rumbles in a
paper bag : she
says let’s
eat
