The Messiah. Musings of the rind. Driving corn, subletting caresses, failing really feasibly, searching for old constellation fries and everybody hates chris and loves Raymond, "word to your mom", Golf Clubs, premature scalding, keeping nice cream chives. Chain fixture burning (that is, you ignite the other fixtures with the burning ones). I feel groovy about such wings as smelly as "psych" conversions out of novels of $.50 records and the good mysteries of giant minerals. Ridiculous conversations for blocks of cheese blokes who make dew chaffs. Oh yeah! I write tingle songs and say when with my complements of obstruction. Dahl, Falderaal--
my pillow yells,
talking sandmen,
turrets defeating mustiness (lever approval),
raising bran,
Wicket (from the Ewok Adventure), riffles, how 'bout dem yankees? Buncha' crunch, funny bowels (rad berries rock), past fan anger, Dennis the menace, the hero of all kids.
