THE DARK CLICKS ON

THE MORNING SLATHERS ITS WHATEVER
ACROSS THE THING. IT PUTS THE FUCKING
LOTION IN THE BASKET. CAN’T SMOKE
IN THE CONFESSIONAL ANYMORE.
IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE TO CONFESS IT.
SO HAVE I HEARD AND DO IN PART BELIEVE IT.

OLD POND, FROG JUMPS IN, SO WHAT.
DUDE SPEAKS CHINESE LAUNDRY.
MY MOTHER LIKE HER PUSSY SHAVE.
TELL HER I READ IN ORIGEN
EVEN SATAN MIGHT BE SAVED.
OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN.

MICHAEL J. FOX TALKS PARKINSON’S
WITH THE FORMER MISS ARKANSAS.
THE CLOUDS ARE THERE FOR THEM
TO BE SICK ON. THOSE EUROPEAN
STAIRWELLS WITH THE LIGHTS ON A TIMER?
YOU GET HALFWAY UP AND THE DARK CLICKS ON.
