ALMANAC 36

Musicianship is bridged in recollection.

Prattle a zest or irritant.

This orb whirrs as it dizzy-rounds.

Thunder's furore passes.

Surdity nears, howsoever.



ALMANAC 39

Waves - misgiving indigo.

Tete-a-tetes amplifying, giddy.

Uniform power-drive buzz.

Quaff trolley is inched.

The jet unrivets

In ashy sky.



ALMANAC 40

Transit is restful.

Below par districts sheer off.

Crows lunge, profiled in window.

Upbeat incessant.

A run-luck hatchback and your train

Mash. Sublime carnage.
