WINE

Drunk on periscope wine, he passed his hand through the asexual fireball. Not a substitute for sleep. He said that he wanted to be chastised with a white cane or else with a vegan horsewhip in the synthetic thunderstorm. The slow applause of packing cigarettes.

GALLERY

She brought us through her absinthial gallery. We gathered around the watercolor. Browse thousands of bruised movies to download. Non-upsidedown rollercoaster. In the sexual harassment video, she posed in a jeep. Story / foam, the barista fills to the fill line.

PLANCHETTE

We offer valerian to the adversary. You finger your mother-of-pearl medallion, plethora. In swayed. Trellis of letters. In his petition coat, he sings the languid polychrome. A scorpion in a bottle. Your planchette moving over me.

GRID

Dionysus of the clover- leaf interchange, you glossary of lost, motor the legend grid. I drove the retractable streets to collapse in sylvan lacquer and the zymurgy of summer, and melt the wax of the mock sun in this ambient gryllid sound.

LIGHTER

My lighter flame in the wind, your blue-gold hair. Cherry helmet guy is claiming his faulty lighter is flirty if a woman bums a flame. I'm hearing a lot of bizarre claims here, while a Zippo burns butane from tables. I learn from a film to light yours with mine.

SOFA

He toys with a game piece, both of them showed up wearing black. "Don't get me evicted," she plays the musical saw. Some things from magazines fizz. Wanting this was different from wanting it again. A brass plaque for the shrink, and for the donation of this sofa.

SWARM

He thought he was watching porno, thought he was seeing the real swarm and aquaculture. She walks by, melts the ice sculpture. Green sherbet t-shirt, apologizes for not wearing her skull-and-crossbones underpants, the orange plastic barrier flapping in the breeze.

ANKLE

Acetate joke solo in my courage at a nude reside. Easy there, tiger, sugar. Tedious sleek organization of tall ice, soap-rayed, the use of a nude cuckoo. Tendency morning-gate, talus. Injury veil, my solid illumined voracious, cue the subside theme, his amateur divination by ankle bones.
