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.
