Lanny Quarles: prune wallet suicide: a sestina


Or windows. - The police insisted
Fear that someone, somewhere may be happy
- we launch a snack, demean a dog,
That it doesn't hide doors or windows
Paste-colored, prune-like corpses of men
They took the money, but left an ID Mary

When he falls down and sees Mary
Chicago, and united repeatedly insisted
Remo meets a CURE contact in a men
- Delaney isn't happy
A month, a golfer breaks one of my windows
Probably not liable. - Lipman: Dog

You could help me and my dog
Pulled two pistols, shot his wife, Mary
They images like the ones in their windows
To Lee Miglin, They say he insisted
The bar. - Even generally happy
- Boxing : A lot of white men

Been - Where the young men
Three of the - Parisians are dog
A few - "If it makes you happy
Was just as it should be, thought Mary
Card. she became terrified and insisted
Feels like a bizarre combination of windows

It doesn't hide doors and windows
My confidences in - Some of the men
Times, as the blasted grass insisted
Trips to - A teenage boy raped a dog
Preisler, Jean Marie Hill, and Mary
With the parasite, sharing happy

Sucks, aw shucks ! My broker is happy
That it doesn't hide doors or windows
At home. - Twelve-year-old Mary
Wind & burps to keep other men
The derelict house when a rabid dog
Him before break time," Justin insisted

Chicago, and united repeatedly insisted
Three of the - Parisians are dog
Wind & burps to keep other men
