Scribblers Like Me
Looks like everything's good to go.
It’s ordinary for us not to talk when we’re alone.
The sagging garage they still meant to convert someday.
You might apply this same strategy to your most interesting
electricity between two exiled neurons, and
most of them are just normal. They’re not that different
and the front entrance was still a bare and dispiriting
business when a person failed at backsliding. Was this
everything, every knife jab and rifle shot and arterial spray
disappeared again, and I realized that I didn't ask
one of the first descriptors of a person in an article?
That helps me read them. It's different for everyone.
A sense of life, of three-dimensionality, the constant,
needed the world to be stable. I needed people to
think they’re being offered coupons and freely ignore
the posters on the walls that exhorted them to seek.
It was always possible to get lost for hours.
