hull like a hard rain
small inlet (we can stand here)
and forth a black-beaten
on the small bravado of sidewalk
trashcans on the asphalt ground
kitchen trash dragged
spoon small alcohol
three things fragments
through small openings
broken pavement glass
single sidewalk down look
look standing away St. Mary's
and point break nature by lying
your throat and a headlong rush
small town and a garbage scow
hand-cut inside black cold and spat
clean the curious streets
small or trifling pinpoint
some large some small
course others cloud to see
and on the ground novel with layout
tucked away
soul to cinders
line pulled taut

bat
stick
batte batter bhat
one whole end of a brick
one end thicker / broader
shale bituminous shale
sheet of cotton filling
jollification
to cudgel to beat
to bate to flutter
as in a game
in similar games a racket
stroke or sharp blow
a stroke of work
speed a spree
pole
stake
palus
plaster with fibrous and other
in relief or in the round
that which props or upholds
wand borne of authority
forming flat of considerable size
framework to make the exterior
forming joints may be
for the gorget or knife
hence a support
the round of a ladder
the five lines and spaces
a series of verses so disposed
concluded the same order
an arbor as of a wheel
a pinion as of a watch
the grooved director
cutting for stone in the bladder
an establishment attached
hence a body
a long slender a tall slender
the stem of a small tree
carriage between the wheel
guided on which a flag
in stripes used as a sign
which climbing beans or hops
a rod a perch
to furnish as to pole
to convey as to barn
to impel as to boat
to stir as to molten glass
the extremity of an axis
a distant great circle
of the sphere of such surface
such a point as of the horizon
such force of a needle
of the ecliptic
of the firmament
of the sky

waves shift
(particles)
lower tone
from moving vehicles clutter
the degree of the radio
tag can be tuned
(a distraction)
by their nature
bounces off the moving car
turn heads when you clock
weather for the broadcast
all of us have encountered
(invisible to us)
multipath
(backscatter)
the speed of an object
(phenomenon)
for observing meteors
(along side a road while a car passes)
