slow motion carcass
|
Gotta eat sunshine. It is the best
disinfectant. In this fractured country I want. White people to cross the street already. The body has changed. All Berlin blue. All Dick Cheney’s dime should’ve been a dollar. All reading winner and loser as wine and lobster. The changing of sound to suit. A nation within a nation. Because I have never made a virgin, but I have thrown the shovel out of the hole. On video, he shows me how his dog eats meat. Slow motion carcass and it is the cutest thing This clade. This changing folk. Dare I say successful. If not I’d be all. |
