from Pigtail Duty:
My heartbreak a controlled sex vocabulary Schema syntax Collocating linguistic changes Where the movement is horizontal Reciprocity for practical problems The single noun jurisdiction To be compound to modify Is to dig, plow anarchisms Make resolute a love system
Marriage epidemic endemic to linear A discipline for stray idioms Usage dictates we don’t sell it out front Pillow drool and a hairy sink Your social phobia the board game landscape My satisfaction a household disorder
