[brick] - Abecedarius Cycle
Abecedarius Cycle
.
.
A--Abstinence
.
Another bloody cannibal died eating flesh.
God, how it jerks knees.
Like men never ogle plump quavering rumps.
So tasty!
Ugly vulgar writer, X-amine Your Zipper.
.
B--Birthright
.
Before coming downstairs, empty father's garbage.
His insistent jabberings knife like mother's nagging.
Our parents, quite religiously, spend time upstairs,
Valium wasted, Xanax yawning, zoned alive.
.
C--Comic
.
Captain Danny escapes from Gargantua's hold.
Inside jab knocks lizard-breath, my nemesis, out.
Presidents, Queens, reporters story triumphantly:
Unbelievably valiant warrior, X-Danny!,
yesterday zapped another beast.
.
D--Dispatch
.
Don't ever feed goldfish habaneros.
If jelly-dipping kittens, leave my name out.
Please quit romanticizing silly, trashy, useless verse.
Warning: X-Rated yearnings zoom around by computer.
.
E--Eros
.
Earlobe fingertipped
guessingly. Hips
insway. Jugular
kneadingly lipped.
Mouth noiselessly
opens. Pulse
quiverously rushes.
Slickery tongues
untangle. Verbalicious
whispers xo-xo-xo.
Yessed zygomatic
arch. Blush
characteristically deepens.
.
F--Flesh
.
Fat guys have it jacked, kiddo.
Lean men never order pie.
Quintessentially ridiculous!
Swear the ubermensch vow,
wear XXXL yourself:
Zuppa! Abbondonza! Buffet!
Cafeteria, drive-through....EAT!
.
G--Glare
.
"Go home," I jeered.
Kids like me nibble on
purification questions; rhetoric's
simple truths.
.
Uniformed, violent,
white, xenophobic, young zeros
alone behind cold, dead eyes,
flinch.
.
H--Heaven-scent
.
Hippopotamuses, I just know,
love my new odour: Parfum Quagmire?
Really stinky...the uakari vomited!
.
Well, Xavier, your
Zoo Aroma bath chips
did everything for Givench .
.
I--Id
.
I juggle knives,
love macadamia nuts,
order pizza quickly,
require some tenderness,
understand voice waverings,
xerox yellowed zinnia,
and believe children
don't ever forget
generous hearts.
.
J--Jargon
.
JAG, KKK, LLC, MGM
NBC, OTB, PTA, QVC,
RCA, SRO, TNT, UHF,
VHF, WWF, XXX, YMCA,
ZIP, ABC, BBC, CNN,
DDT, EEG, FBI, GED,
HIV, IRS.
.
K--King-Size
.
Kitty licked milk noisily,
obliviously pleased,
queried, "Rowl?"
Shiftily, that unimpressed
visage's whiskered X yawned.
.
Zowie! Asia's big cats
didn't exhaust feline grace--
hers is jawsome.
.
L--Lampoon
.
Love my neighbor? Oh please.
Quotably rude, sure, though
ultimately vapid.
Waving x-actos, yelling,
"'zactly," "a'ight," "beeyatch,"
concatenating disses egregiously,
flinging gutterals
high-and-mightily
into Justice's knee.
.
M--Moniker
.
My name:
opens palaces,
quells riots,
tackles unsuspecting vandals,
writes Xanadu,
yields zygotes,
activates bold claims,
dodges eyes flirtingly,
goads hubristic intentions,
jimmies kismet's locks.
.
N--Negotiation
.
Noting O's petulance,
Q rearranges seats theatrically:
.
"U, verge W,
X, you're Z,
and B, come dear, emulate F.
G has I's job,
K, learn M.
.
Now, O...prettiness,
quickly, replace S.
T unseat V,
where's X? Yes, Z.
A becomes C...done!
Everybody finished?
Good. Haha! I've just
knotted language
marvelously."
.
O--Overheard
.
Our patient's queasy.
Right, scalpel.
That's unnecessary.
Vicadin.
Whoops.
Xyster.
Yicky.
Zorro!
Anesthetic? Bludgeon.
Clamp.
Drinking Everclear?
Fix God's hacked-up idiot job.
Keepsake?
Liver moved?
Nervous?
.
P--Pass/Fail
.
Pop Quiz! Ready?
.
Sunday's tolerants?
Unitarians.
.
Vile wife?
Xanthippe.
.
Youngsters' zweiback/arrowroot?
Biscuit.
.
Coal dark?
Ebony.
.
Feels good?
Hug.
.
Is just kidding?
Liar.
.
Munches nocturnally?
Owl.
.
Q--Quota
.
Quasars ripple silently,
Tuesday's universe vectors
Wednesday's X-axis, Y-axis
zero-sum alpharithmebetical
bankruptcy. Chromosomal dramas
ensure Friday's godhead.
Hacked into jagged kinetic lines,
Monday needs one point.
.
R--Recast
.
Rummage Sale Today!
Unbelievable Values!
Weedwhacker, X-Box, Yo-yo,
Zeppelin albums, baby crib,
Dale Earnhardt's father's
gardener's husband's interpreter's
Japanese kimono loving mother's
nephew's own personal quartz.
.
S--Superpower
.
Save the universe. Villians, woo.
X-men, yay. Zap another boring criminal.
Doot-to-do. Evil's finished.
Go heroes. Juggle kryptonite.
La-de-da. Mighty Nabob's on patrol,
quit reading.
.
T--Testing
.
Tiberius! Ulysses, Valentino, Woodrow, Xerxes!
Yanni? Zeus! Alexander, Balthazar, Caesar...
D'Artagnan. Emerson. Forbes. George. Herodotus!
Isaiah. Junior! Kermit. Laertes. Moses...
Nebuchadnezzar! Odin! Placido? Quincy, Romeo!!
Susan??
.
U--Unexpected
.
Universal's vision was: X-Generation
Y-Chromosone zaniness, all bubbly,
coming down Everest, feel goody,
handsome, intelligent jocks
knowing life's majesty.
.
Not: old pathetic Quixote rides
some tractor.
.
V--Vagary
(for Tod)
.
Vax, Whois, xterm, y-modem,
zshell, ASCII, bash, CGI,
DHCP, Ethernet, FTP, GZIP,
hexadecimal, IRC, Java, kernel,
Linux, MIDI, NNTP, ORACLE,
PCMCIA, qwerty, RSA, TCP/IP,
Unix.
.
W--Wash-N-Wax
.
White Xterra,
yellow Z28,
azure BMW,
cream Daihatsu
ecru Fiat
gray Honda
indigo Jeep
kelly Lexus...
mine's next!
Orange pogostick:
quirky, rebellious,
sexy. The
ultimate vehicle.
.
X--Examination
.
X-gaming's young zealots
are behind corporate doors.
.
Escaping from gravity
has its jazz.
.
Knowing limits means
never overstating profits.
.
Quarterly reports suggest
these unconventional victories
weren't.
.
Y--Yawp
.
You're zincky
and beyond congested,
.
drugged, exhausted,
frowsy, getting hotter.
.
It's July.
.
Kitties lounge medicinally
near, old patchwork quilts
royally.
.
Sleep, tucked
under vowels written
xoxoxo
.
Z--Zealot
.
Zukofsky's "A" bifurcates criticism.
Derisive epistles, fawning glosses,
hateful invectives, jubilant kudos.
.
Louis made noise, outr panoplies
quantizing reiterational
syllabary that unearthed
voice words xylophonically.
.
Yes.
.
.
