Those darling feet are not afraid of anything
(after a list of presents Bernadette Mayer wanted for her birthday in 2011 - as suggested by Google)
A store filled with shade, store and then bees, "Oracle, oracle!" Tranced magic, painted caves, her porcelain clothes Willows in a blind country, protons in gold, Prometheus as your prehistoric pet Confidentiality, carrots, cloisters, clutter ring Indiana by degrees, byzantine The exquisite interview, impossibly both ray and star What if I was paid to dream about you? I am bored as the number four Are we Australian? Autocorrect my dyskinesia Using the Tardos algorithm, by perseverance the snail reached the ark The conquest of memory by the young Pyrex was no crackpot, puzzles, sugar-frosted prisons Charcoal, cheddar cheese tastes like aging Cheesy pickup lines in an annoying orange She eats like attics, mysteries, annuals Paprika shoes, a case of chords, and for you an exploding mango A case of your stage stripes, stutter during treatment Shotgun shells and Smart Water, study BOTH sailors and whales Bordeaux and grand cru, the taste of St. Elizabeth's roses and gametes The good martyr, a black ointment of cured olives and doves, thistle and hemp Bare feet, starlings sun-conjured, and then submarines suddenly appear Our sunflower hearts hulled in a photofield How many calories are in those sutras anyway? Seeds for flatlands, the tropics in winter Wars that bloom around our feet What is the cause and effect of turning her into a musical? Hummingbirds for Hume were the resemblance of contiguity and causation Everywhere, humanscale freedom chairs are dead or mating in New York Humans can lick too, corrupted by body temperature, coral reefs Cormorants in the foundling hospital Are the Straits of Magellan ever fuschia? Strappy guava, strawberry panic, winter as seen on TV A complete thematic unit: plants vs. zombies Photoautotrophs, a ruby wedding with thorns Rift in Roseland, anatomy afterwinters as a symbol Remember that both cheerleaders and war criminals start fires Bless a blurred man and his acid soils Fetuses in jars that look both presidential and unfinished A fig walked into a bar for a kiss Tree man disease, tree marriage, assault ship Is the size of Japan the same size as a queen bed? Charts made of silk galaxy tabs, drawn by a bellows mender Angel diction in modern usage, "String, string!" Stand an egg on end, bamboo fun, bamboozle prom Fisheye, bite alert with elastic, fishcharm, strike indicator Polyvore, give me those linen codes before I sleep Persistence, persimmons, poppies and cats' eyes surround a lagoon of bibles, the city sleeved in an aluminum message
