Spring Break V - Russians On Miami Beach
I.
The Fish Crow is an outcast amongst the seagulls
Standing on the hot Miami sand
At the end
Of our rose-colored beach towel
Nodding and blabbing half-heartedly
Nuh-uh nuh-uh
To the lack of crumbs
From us
The stingy blue collar visitors
From freezing old...

Sanitized a lot of messes with Lysol

Didn't always benefit one side or...

Had thick, virile thighs
And with your questioning eyes

I love her woodland fantasy flights.
