BUY PRAU (2007) |
Once, on some opiate I confused that street lamp for the full moon. Tonight, stone sober, I almost make the same mistake. |
Nothing is specific, everything leans into the subjunctive. What is perceived as conditional is the air I breathe. |

Her titles are especially good -- and inspired this:
Stammering in the night of crows not always the catatonia of debit erosion and aching shifting into pilgrimage of the paper river GLOW ri us |
