Will Provide More Redundancy

Something like excitement does run through me, something

maybe getting beat up by some drug dealers. But the one

was almost like virgin land just open for settlement

in my empty kitchen, on the eve of leaving the country

but not in the same way. I was no longer the man

to throw bolts of lightning to blast us so that we’ll

make it undeterred to the drinks bar, get myself

through miles of rock to the center of the turning

broiled fish, roasted sweet potatoes, and ash-cake

to understand that one moment out of all her heart's

lovers you can break up. These old novels and plays

informed them that they had to postpone their

situation like this. Otherwise you won’t know

the hideous behemoth that had taken the place of the

receiver pressed to my ear, listening to the soft sound

from the chuck-will’s-widow, which is frequently

because the cake more often determines what kind of

jokes were the least of what could be done here.
