SURROGATE FOR WAR

Sonnet ukulele boarding pass panopticons,

catnip parsing permits of contortionist lemon linguists,

charm quark hood limousines, rendering plasma television's,

ubiquity revolutions, wheel-well grating orange zest,

apple unicorn polka communists in oval eclipse,

mythological steel drum parades,

silverback bronze age gold medals,

carcinogenic featherpulse typhonic butterfly effects,

rendering gateway room divider encaustics,

on bucolic dog-eared bookends

Oktoberfest beer steins,

Pontification savants obfuscating simultaneous rhetoric,

in political pout,

constant sorrow of dance-step constellations,

forming peptic ulcer's knot

tatooing wordscape,

aubergine formless canopy, meat-puppet melee,

devolving absentia, harnessing cartography,

chasm lionstooth, Epicurean intaglio,

harvest swarm twister temple seismology addictions,

churning sidebag saddle weaveworking protreptici,

umbilical semantics brooding amniotic,

axe of superimposition canonizing streetcars,

bobbing and weaving through parroting obstacle course,

Subdivision, subway, subjacent subjectivity,

ambient carte blanche beatific cascade,

pastiche, decoupage collagraphic collage,

alleoformed metastasis imbibing containment,

quarantined disentanglement parading speculation,

at the heart of all revolutions,

omniscience lurks with eyes wide shut,

epigenesis of their decoding systematicity,

armchair Lazyboy, Chrysler, General Electric,

Ford, Boeing, Lockheed, road engineers,

survivalist contingency gridlocked public transitory,

transitioning transmutation monument jockeys,

codifying universals with whim magnate

RPG's and Magnum Opus' magnetic magnanimity,

Conspiracy despeckled decoupled divorce lawyers,

lining all ducks in a row,

Machete tanks stop mullet jury selection,

bric a brac epistemes cascading cumulus,

nimbus litmus

harvesting shadow world ninjas,

in bloodsport closed circuit Olympiad,

the surrogate for war.
