And despises shopping
To the nth degree
But off he went

came from a second-rate,
light tipping looter
A no-class hothead bum,
who had bun fiddy no-good burger
burglar instincts
Amateur night out
introduced a new bottom bang-bang
beatnik on the back end drum...

Gloopy poop was all over the floor

Marking the midnight strike
Dolls standing tooting tin whistles
Clowns riding round...

Who live in the Sahara,
Or opine on...

Some things I crave to do
Cut, Run, Isolate
All of which would hurt you
High, Intoxication, Scars
The aftermath
Careless, Unstable, Deadly

Bowls, Mirrors, Blades
Once it had felt so good
Paranoia,...
