the greenland shark can be seen around greenland
and the brain begins to slow at 24

my brain fully developed in primary school
but my face has yet to do so

toxins in the air juxtaposed with the fermi paradox
rivers of mercury and winston churchill's parrot

………………………………. the idea is to aver the overt statement
appear somewhere ……… even if it stultifies…
in rarefied realms sophisticate

coexist in a peace only understood
by the most observant

the vibes of all vibes seem...
