An Interior Mechanism

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe," ... Carl Sagan Subtle crafts soundly, using euphemisms, yet cluelessness dealt a sheltered abyss. When one confront internal mechanisms, whatchamacallit ... orphaned hit-or-miss. A conundrum conspires an endowed soul, behooves postmortem liken achievement. Where'er wits helix baptism, buried hole, an urchin crawlspace, be I foundling sent. Newborn bid birthright a pardoned envoy, of mature absence deemed as uncharted. Internals blueprint designed, bad employ, indeed, tunnels end--will be lights outed. Rare conscientiousness temper unknown, infiltrate hallmark translates as dethrone.
