Bubble worries
ballooning
bottom lines
set aside
unauthorized
complaints filed


promising tips
bill cramming
overly attached
juice for tablets


kickstands
in the back
of enormous
stature


gruesome
photographs
graphic details
few fans
of grand masters


tax-bite tailored
middle class
public attractions
like pancreatic cancer


slashed demands
mobile ads given scale
zones from fracturing
country acts taken aback


bypassed absent
sent packing
asymptomatic
implant mishandlings


prematurely failing
metal and plastic
selling gas
turning into a dad


deceptive blasts
as crude salvos
ravaged and abandoned
tearing rabidly


with ferocity
like lovers that dare
to cover scandals
of savoir-faire


while happily tail kicking
with twin-fisted efficiency
under conditions of anonymity
usually in six-figured "Playbills"


slightly uptight yet radiantly
seizing on some flimsy
overbearing Philistine
appeasingly suspicious
of ennobled wishes


in sonorous choruses
while blocking chords
tinged with recall
when all is lost
match point...
