Jack Bastock

Not dust but

skin cells that

kept their shape;

tile walls of

mummified

pouches.

The average

use-span of

a plastic

sack was 20

mins. Was

it the strain?

The stretch and

filibuster

stretch of a

con basket

of goods? Bads?

Hold water,

hold thorned

dropped, bowling

bowl fruit.

Latin name:

Ananas

comosus

or was it

cosmosis?

Add both to

the bag-ette

Add sharp squares

Add kilograms

Add cosmos

and see if

it will last.
