    An Impure Primer

    A beastly catechism
    dog eared brown cat 
    drenched frozen
    green halo.

    I just kwikzilver
    looked.

    Mighty nice
    mice nook.

    Opening opinion pending
    please query
    queue quorum.

    Run straight
    toward universe
    vast wobbly.

    Exit your zero.

    Apropos pickle
    Butte barely there in tumbleweed distance
    Colloquial circus on edge of town
    Drab hard rust
    Emergent sea
    Fish scale sliver
    Glass stippled bass dress
    Hercules sleeping like a cat
    I don’t know slick
    Just relax
    Kairos
    Let there be dark
    Maroon full of water
    Noun ironing board
    Oh peel up
    Preen winged words
    Quick thick sailboats pass across a canvas
    Red banal rose
    Startled pimientos brush along a landscape
    Thesis slope mint
    U-pick raspberry squeeze
    Very faraway pink
    White lime yellow summer clouds
    X marks tableau vivant spot
    Yield sudden silk
    Zeus striped sock lint
