Collection of Caliginous Junk

is them being kids and what is having not been taught
what will be the safest place? No one they’d consulted with
as if they had suddenly been inflicted with running sores
is not okay in some bodily unsafe way and also that I’ve
read about in the paper, the ones who are discovered by
whatever is the great attraction of absolute power anyway.
I want everything both ways all the time and I’m tired of

like some bullshit movie that’s supposed to make you
think first of the group. If you look after the needs of
