Reading Ulysses in Montana #630

Diamonds of limbs and palfreys of bizarre socks bestowed another grim character to barter away the souls of too many unkempt promises. But Myrtle would have none of it.

A penny and a half penny more coined the term Myrtle and her brother perpetuated like the rules of wine tasting for the abuse of preposterous miscellanies and bacon. Penguins also being the name of a fruit bought Marvin a little time, a fact catching Myrtle off guard with the haste of incense and swords of good flights.

Sixteen pounds of Tuesdays led Marvin to pester Myrtle again about turning skills and reformations into strangles of offended bruises.

Finding me in another small room became a debt too far for Myrtle to play again, but Marvin took a chin of harmless earth and stored it against the everlasting future of endearing frontiers and enduring cosplay warriors.

Demented in Dayton–except there is no Dayton in that neck of the would–another scallywag showed her true colors.

Ginger secured her flyer to the roof of George’s car and took a masculine quarter with a blame of patience and a sorcery of fortitude and untied the waking knot. Not that beds of vigilant urns had anything to do with it, but exploits of Ginger’s victories gave force to George’s scales of festivals and Chinese fireworks along great walls and fortresses of rainy regions.

George followed the course of the sieve with fear and malice toward none and cracked the fossil across the slate of twisted weather, whether the masons had built the brick wall in the color of Ginger’s natural history or not.

Sevenfold shelters protected the demented of Dayton, even though there still was no Dayton in that neck of the wouldn’t.

Spectacular proclivities and liberties of unplumbed living quarters made Jean livid at the vivid veils of Shadow Falls.

Contrary to other unpopular beliefs, brief encounters of mischief and altogether rubbish of another kind gave Jean’s wife, also called Jean–him French her English–the fits, like on their pigheaded tour of Shadow Falls when the oyster couldn’t keep his hands off the cabbage leaf.

Shelves of simply rotten discoveries accompanied a plague on all their blouses with an epidemic of academics whining, although Jean hadn’t been a fictional citizen of Shadow Falls as long as Jean had. Allotted advantages from both the worst of times and the best of times gave royal credence to the protector of sanctuary and sorrow.

Where liberties and proclivities of accrued dreams beguile, Jean and Jean left no more ominous oaths complain along the languid road to Shadow Falls.

Amid the dust of a thousand horses, along the river to a thousand seas, within the night of a thousand virtues, Gumpy woke up and, clearing her dilapidated head, said I know what you want but I won’t give it to you.

Decanters of empty slights awaited Gumpy’s presence in the kitchen, but Christmas had come too soon and gone too late for it to matter to her or anyone else at that time of year. Mildred stopped Gumpy on the staircase and said where do you think you’re going. Gumpy walked away having not heard her sister–or at least pretending so.

The armor shone no more, and the round table was missing a leg. Gumpy wielded the missing leg as a sword of defiance and said no one else will pass. But no one else was around, so Gumpy was absolutely right. Mildred said put that thing down before you hurt someone.

Gumpy did not hear–or at least pretended so–for by then she had muddled her dilapidated head once more and dreamed of a million hyenas laughing at the dust of horses, rivers of seas, and virtues of darkest night.

Better Burgundy picked up the shaky pieces and put Humpty back together again and again, lapped with smooth X-rays and candid sting rays.

Ravenous pygmies of Humpty’s past turned back the clock a day and a half with a buffer of pinned coils teeming like frogs on a green ruminant. Burgundy ruminated on expressions of forward marches, stubbing out the plumbing with chests of vital counterparts, denuded through many successions of coughing redactions.

False accounts aside, tumultuous spirits of altered saddles straddled Burgundy, Humpty’s bookkeeper, with duplicate die thrown straight from the hand of the riotous croupier.

Shaky pieces of Humpty’s future, walking on egg shells, ought to bequeath legacies of lions on deceived confessions, but devices of ravens and fears of sweet mockery marshalled the gentle cousin Bordeaux with assurances of plenty and aces of Burgundy’s potted wit.

The tower halted with a good frown and opened the blinders to the second-to-last collar grinding its way along the crosswalk.

Across the way, rhythms of empty sounds grabbed Jewel by the heartstrings and plucked a merry tune despite three bad knees and an ounce of joint compound, compounded in a variety of variations. Her relations with the other half of the moon people were much better, but better than what, she would never know.

Jewel approached the goddess of the moon people atop the tower, but fortunes last only so long and the way to the flippant pancakes bespoke another force of followers altogether, whether they wore collars in crosswalks or not. Allowing for salaries of studious exhibitions and separate rites, excused examinations faltered farther than Jewel’s father could throw himself or the fleabag he rode in on.

Insignificant though it wasn’t, the tower followed the beacon of the shadow of light and lit a bonfire to dissolve all of Jewel’s loose-fitting encounters. And that was all before the light turned green.

Wiping leisure from the force of her argument, Richard’s brother asked Helena for the unadvised dance.

Engraved upon enraged repentance, kingdoms of foreign tears tear down the blinds of sappy mettle, stronger than the wailing of acquainted souls. But would he know what to do with it and when? Admired for remembering the miracles of candor, Molly told Helena when she could find the ashpit in question. The ashpit of Eden on the other side of the morning sunset.

Helena shrugged the shrug of eons and said what am I supposed to do with that. Richard took his dimensionless fleet to the clocks of Morocco while flowers bloomed in Molly’s deepest desires.

Familiar penguins assembled in distinctive lexicons, and their bizarre wishbones sent Richard and Helena and Molly to the brother of crystal innovations a week too late for anything innovative (or crystalline) to happen at all.

Frosted windows and flakes of corny filberts flooded everyone’s fantasies of how many furlongs at Ascot. Or was that Santa Anita?

Now whether or not Anita had anything to do with it, Andy could get the best of the situation by talking his way up the downspout. Anita bagged the cracked filbert shells and poured a boundary of apoplexy this way and that. Andy said swollen clocks fancied bigger heifers than that. Anita was livid with lipid dreams of strange heels. Andy lurched in his beggars dance the way Anita lunched with her heroic luggage, frightfully aware that the imagination of devils, lunacies aloft, were more cumbersome than cucumbers.

Frosted flakes of flooded windows left blood on the tracks of Andy’s vanity and capers in the cracks of Anita’s soul, yearly poets betide.
