*Image of Stakeout On Dope Street Withdrawl by Warner.
Delirium I stepped in yesterdays cold that babbled through a rosed mist, its clammy waters rallied the shallows that suffer skin to clinch flesh in curbed shriveling crimps, Shapes a glacial sheath paired amongst innocence, roughly stays offbeat, occasions a past, Coupling realms of diverse remnants, same as wavering opinions, inducing banks overflowing, frigid blight realized, A duality morphed as a single organism, cells bobbing well against a skeletal chamber, wherein, the upper region of unswerving senses, uniquely contrast, yet settled in their unsettling way of indivisibility, Tug-of-war eternally plays, yes or no wobbles on a scheming balancing beam, and juggling is being skillfully played whilst illusion rules consciousness, botched mayhem willingly flaps, till it fancies its place, The chaos that further perplexes a cranium, where atop beams heavenly pivoting light that gleams then glows, bestowing its energetic love, diligent patience flashes yon, awakening a wholesomeness, albeit, temporarily inclined, cognizant vicissitudes parts among us and resonates --an instant warmth.
