Eureka

crescent wrench, pressure vent, damn near bent the gauge shut

tuesdays special: fumes and doubt, pantry cleared of paste glut

batch gone brackish, smellin' like a broke down freight rut

street pharmacist swapped the base for aquarium substrate

formula precise, ratios lookin' prime

jury boxed the chemist, left the project dry this time

deep pull, let the vapor climb

shipment wrapped in butchers twine, skip the parcel line

brains a backed up sink, droppin' couplets on the grate

glide sideways to a queen wasp at the gate

my obsidian kin

hold the line before the chin check

she slid diagonal, knuckles clipped the porch step

power plays stacked like machiavellis old bets

percent flow just elevator duets

these cats missin' ballast, listin' like a scow

or maybe three grains shy of a full load now

bell tolls late when the moon hangs low, chief

cop the vinyl, catch jabs over drum machine grief

same platter cracked free, you snap it clean

chew the track like collard greens

why the petri dish pass she quizzed the masked professor

fist locked around the cold steel, other stirrin' beaker pressure

every fortnight, crack the blinds oh oh eureka

a fresh cipher to plant the unique near your tweeter

for the logs, boards wasnt mine to lay, true?

cannot wrong the architect if the foundation blew, dude

little one-seater, settled sum debt

so the sum do debt, jump rope at sunset

the paper chase, for the chlorophyll leaf

like phenolphthalein shift, disbelief

told a swayback stoop siren, fetch the relief chief

say its caracas pure, torch cut, past the police brief

airplay ghost stories told through the wire

leave a toupee lookin' like a bad brush fire

rhyme glide captain' quizzed what fuels the gyre?

croaked, turns to embalming fluid, dire

serve the main dame supper

one dusk, she swung the cheese grater, aimed to uppercut her

strap the iron, smirkin' on jet

surrounded by saltines, sardines, no cigarette
