anagram cadenza

"... the letters W and V may be joining the 15-letter team that forms the
names for New York City subway lines ..."

--Randy Kennedy, The New York Times, 5 Dec 2000


sans cab, abased, embarrased...

we descended, damned, ever and ever.

a recessed maze.

a serenade:
       screams.

a crazed, brazen madman jabbered, deranged:
       "negress breeder, arab nerd fags!"

we dreaded badness: besmeared feces, barf.

we faced danger, feared a massacre.

we were encased, jammed, abraded. a car's rear-end enema.

we careened, arced, veered. cars weaved -- cadences ceased.

we wended, ascended -- degraded and demeaned.

we egressed, scarred. deadened, dazed ... barefaced badness a mere
rememberance.

we danced! safe, sane.

we scammed reefers and ganja; we freebased.
