Introduction
The pageant is intense
Blaring typtronics, saddles, and Tylenol
Paper thin relief
To march floor by floor by floor
To gold
Pawning featurettes
And dead pan humor
And nature’s slave
That’s me
The blank in the gun
The blank in answer box
The blank in the ____
Unresolved resolution
I don’t know that I don’t know
Ignorance is Bliss
And Bliss is not too keen
Ignorance kissed my neck and I moaned with uncertainty.
Ah,
The battle for seventeen
Not quite legal
Though certainly not illegal
By any standard
Don’t get the wrong idea here
April seems so far
So long
Forlorn
Distant
And any other random synonym I can think of
That could maybe be accepted
Or stolen
Theft is a complement
Without refrain or consent
I steal
I steal
Forgiveness
Forgive me,
I like your style
