• Pizza after the play

  Rise from greener like a Phoenix Performance tonight in the Helix Dad’s got a tape of the play, slán a rang a sé I wasn’t born in the eighties You were born to ape me, hand open almoner  Slice haeped with bacon, oil from Naples Like a saint’s blood, every bite delightful It turns me…
