Resume Consciousness Every Day Feelin’ Danke.
When I crawled through the reputation gang bangle, I found it was a transportation gang bangle. Dove through wormhole to a future blight as starstruck. Flew through bangle till I wore it over the world, hard circular headband round the galaxy, a handle for my dark and seethrough basket. Failed 20-odd attempts at rolling out of cellulite hatch, stuckled with black hairs, come on, it’s gross, roll out of it and be a, gorgeous clear marble rotten of shape, pure vitreous eyeball squelch reshape divide and blurp. Crystalline stretch gel droplets split up across skies to watch us bleed sweet rhythms from the douxième siècle.
