BANK TO BANK – SPLENDĒRE VITRO
Etiolated authorship sprouting dusty day censorship
Daylight frank hank remanent
Why is Achilles doing this
Jack
Floating world enchantment still oozes
The bigger the breeze
The harder it chooses
At a pinch a finch blows
The higher it blows
The stronger it flows
Foundation fatigue shaves mountains and slows
Advancing haptic static
So when you shoot the arrow at the fish aim below the tail
for LSP
–Daniel Boyd, 2022
