The sky didn’t open—you did. That’s what He said. And suddenly, silence stopped pretending it was empty. Eyes locked to an alien like it was trendy— But the alien was memory, dressed in something friendly. A silent scream’s polka-dotted bow tie is world-endly.

They were snowy white with streaks of hot flesh From Holland, of course, hybrids with a fancy name We other tulips felt plain and boring next to them Where were they being planted?
