Combinations of Catastrophe
Combinations of Catastrophy Combinations of catatstrophic scenarios everywhere I look Invocations of prehistoric evidence collides with the big book Complications that are caustic that sit in their niches and their nooks Calibrations that the agnostic makes as he theologically cooks Annotations of beauty upon a classical music score Connotations refuting why there’s so much to be living...

Love Songs Don't Sound As Good As They Used To
Have you heard the one about the birds and the bees? I never much liked it myself, because it soured the taste of our innocence. Or maybe our innocence soured the taste of us.

Echoed a sound lasted, I heard, an echoed a sound lasted
