23ventriloquist commented on the post, vines 1 month, 1 week ago
The vines wrapped his legs in green, wet green stalks and spores. He tried to stand, but the vines restrained him, sending shoots into his ears, eyes, mouth, and nose. He smelled the chlorophyll, tasted the bitter tannin. He fell a thousand feet into a crevasse of roots.

The straw crackled beneath his footsteps. Fragile, it cracked in his blistered fists as he broke through the pile, the smell of hay thick in his nostrils, and looked for the needle that he had dropped there a moment before. Never . . .

“It was a route,” said Coach McMifflin, as he drove the tight end home along Route 43, the old Clarksburgh Road. The coach enjoyed days when he won. The lines down the middle of the road were clearer, cleaner, more enticing on such days. The dragonflies outside the windows flew with more grace.

Troop transport.
Transportation ray.
Teleport.
Portland in the rain is a way to transport your sport from port to quay. All the way to L.A., where L.A. (LaMarcus Aldridge, eh) plays and makes it rain all day and transports the Blazers way into the playoffs.

The shore smells of brine. Tattered sea gull feathers are white and sand-crusted. A hermit crab scurries. A jelly fish occupies a wet indentation, waiting for the sun to dry it out.

Take the seat of power by the seat of the pants and seat your ass down to eat. Brother can you spare a dime or a place to sit or a seat at the table?

She was the tallest of the bunch. Three apples taller than her older sister, she could smell the shampoo in Beatrice’s hair. From her perch above the shorter world, she saw landscapes as panorama and heard the wind where it . . .

used is a crude word, a moist word, a shining mildewed damp word. Used is my last word, my last week with my last date.

The curtains are yellowed and smell of dust. The air conditioner won’t shut off. It whines and ?? like a black and white ocean. The bed has a dip in the middle and a stain I’d rather not think about.

involved in a twist-up with a twitching nurse, Herman found his options limited. Should he inject the candystriper with candy canes or involve her in the conspiracy to defraud the head surgeon?

I chuckled as I saw this word. Didn’t I write on it last night at 10:36 pm, exactly 24 hours before? Shouldn’t a knew word be up today? Does this program use EST? And if so, why?

Chuckles the clown sounds like chortles. He’s a bucket of guffaws. He’s a snore in the lampshade and a white light under muslin. Chuckles the clown studies rhetoric to impale the older clowns on his wit stick.

indistinct offerings like incense in Kerouac and bold yelps for godheads and popping fireworks of consumerism. Burning gasoline and flattening asphalt, the indistinct Beats beat a retreat.

The scent was familiar, redolent of a fall day trapped indoors, but I could not name it. Spider webs and damp wash clothes.

Blast the doors off the ride. My fingers touch hot metal. It scalds them. They blister in his heat. I wish for ice or a blast of fresh air.

saved by the bell, by the savior, by the by and by, actually, she saved a lot of money when she quit going out and started fixing her cocktails at home. No more money on the bars, on the taxis, on the regrets. Now she sits in her apartment, alone, saved from her ???
