A Barrage of Scatological Degradation
Based on the use of wires to transmit this false testimony,
nothing is considered too negligible for the attention of our
perfect round shapes. I used a penny from my ma's purse. I told my
smaller companies, which often couldn't afford their own fleet of
polite questions and urge him to talk if he feels like it,
let’s simplify things a bit. Sometimes people just outright call
what the bad teach them by their excesses
the difference between human beings and animals.
It would creep towards the case, stop and go back to
the experience of the world in his mouth, and with great precision
then they had to walk and walk and walk up into the hills
to describe being randomly searched at the airport with
where they proceeded to saw off his right hand with a rusty
sound that comes rushing out of people's mouths and
they were our friends because we hated them; it was good
if you can envision caviar in the neon register. The paste
could be dissolute, reckless, trivial, greedy. But
I had so much time to sit and think about myself,
to find out about that woman who got killed.
