An Expensively Irrelevant Gloss
I have some very exciting news.
The man is too narcissistic, too shallow.
It wasn't exactly clear as to what...happened,
the woman struggling for her life a few inches away
been thinking we should try something kind of crazy
fixed up with asphalt siding and a shingle roof and even
having fish. I don't know what you guys are having
in this unfamiliar bed, in this unfamiliar place.
Did you see the sign? It is the most beautiful
because the house was so peaceful without
a shelter in place. Stay inside and await
discord, argument, chaos, perhaps even fear.
