Huso paths and logs
Printing.
Gobs and globs of glib printing. All and one and nine none forebears later, the beginning is quite late in the season to compete with young girls or made men. Trust me, it cannot be done. I lob a few oysters at the carapace, recalling last Monday's conversation in the mountain drive thru New Hampshire about carbuncles and acne as in the form of glacial activity and tectonics. My accountant is an odd feller, but these are the conversations that station between sandwiches during our drive. The truck handles remarkably well and it's great to shift a vehicle like that-- to feel the gears and have the windows down and feel the stick roll into fourth and roar with testosterone. The made men and ladies would scribble their brows probably. Too banal, too simple, they'd complain. Ink it, though. A grey veneer that's palpable to the smell and sines and I swear there's a leer that keels an underlay of staring, rejection, and even the possibility of hope. Glyphs and petrol and thinking. It's been a mad onset these last few days of printing, printing, and more printing... variables await, sure. Like a dope, it's work and craving as well-- mostly foodstuffs like ketchup or regret. A girl posts "roulette yrself" during an episode of husobliviogue last night. Maybe I made it too shiny (?) but Tzara and his probable (-25 vote) gives a hypotheme and injection; a stand to the green pedestal and hanker of self worth that betrothes the deemed store of approval and common courtesy. Nothing to be shamed about work, ink, acne, and shiny outpourings. Too bad we're all critics with no magazines in paper to verify our blight and spite. Bah, no matter! And civilization? Meh.

Panta Claws
This was sent to me by way of email from Matt Taggart, aka, PCRV. The recipe was to wear the pants, take a snap, and send the pants to a friend to do likewise. Chain letter clothes? Naah. No curse or hex; nor the huffy mail artist ego to bruise. Pants are something we can all relate to, perhaps. Sending shredded clothing in the mail is probably not going to expand anyone's universe, nor foment rebellions. It neither addresses a fetish, blasts the sky with Jeffersonian smiles, or makes for a better collection of recipes to gloat over at a later date with the presumptuous "look what I did". Well, mebby a little of that, heh.
Now. Adjust the pose, it's just clothes, now juxtapose.

Relief from the hot summer somnambulism
Instruction for a balmy morning. This may or may not take several minutes/hours to do...
1. Ponder your book or magazine horde one morning instead of listening to the damn news on the radio or catching up on happenings, emails, so forth, on the internet.
2. Go through these publications until one if them gives you an A-HA moment. Again, this may or may not take several minutes to do. If having a hard time finding such, call in sick to work with a lame excuse such as "plumbing problems". Given the context, this can be applicable to your quest. Think about it.
3. Upon finding your A-HA moment, bookmark the page, close book for future reading, and proceed with your day.

jettisoning the demoralizers
(mirroring your sleuth-sayers, the conduits and fans might reflect poorly on your decision to play pawn to the prawnlord: his roe a roar of blooms and brooms, none other could pry dictation them there vaguely registered impetus(plural?)(=$); and I'll say it: "the whore, the hairier")
