flarfish 25: fanfaronade picaro
he got the call of the west
he go, he went, to idaho
when he attempted to lay hands upon others — they resisted
his choler rose —
fandango fanfaronade fantoccini fantod faradism farfel fasces
the picaresque romance
so called from the fact that the picaro
or scamp is…
laying prayer cloths touched to the side of lambs
to prevent the fanfaronade:
Hark! to the thunder of the drums, the title of novelist
which he attempts to disguise his cowardice
the valentón embodies all the good times
surrounding to whom this mixture of ludicrous assumption
fancywork fand fandango picaroon picayune piccadilly piccalilli…
nothing was clear to me
he laid his hands upon my shoulders
my neck paralyzed, my sight extinguished
beneath the hanging tree
