Wall of Monkeys

emissary from the great beyond slapping faces for fun and profit me too tie my shoe then cracko blindsided until there ain't no blindside but I thought we had an agreement just another saw blade poultry shear at the bottom of the embalmer's toolkit stainless steel slab for a dream catcher a twinkle in the eye for his corpse so obviously not stillborn breech mind birth being an ongoing mechanism supposedly not boring as a nailed coffin facial hair and fingernails still growing at this profane juncture at any rate welcome to your new sham town condo free TV free ice by the day or week I'm an echo that's all there is to it pedigreed in blood by a Tuscan strega nursemaid to spasm prone frescoists of some marginally momentous merit lost to history my history at least blessed yet repeatedly violated go figure the numbers will prove nothing we panphibians being a dime a dozen the self being somewhat flexible according to contemporary legend the quantity and quality of unknowing among the egghead ignoranti is alarming concluding bravely this universe is possible scouts honor some things are just obvious pay them homage while cursing them for their unfailing peasant stupidities superstitions phobias anachronisms sadisms and sociopathic ambivalence never able to see what's next a cornucopia of evasions boiling down to king of the hill as the inaudible fog rolls in
