Ripping down paper reality
Nine lives won’t go nine miles when every stile subsists a new trial Different styles for different briars, Aristotlean modes keep me alive My smile more crocodile than the Nile, lipsticked by guile Checked the freezer for something to eat, lack’s surfeit Manifesting feed, fee taken, rune awakened wax surface Diadem and bracelet closely inspected prove…
