He. He wasn’t killed. --- I think therefore I yam Yams stink Pink yams stink --- Yink stams ink --- Yams think therefore they yam --- no, they yaa --- Ja --- René Descartes --- Dey cart it away in heaps - sleep came --- saw --- and conquered. - Owl |

loved getting caught in your muse's sleep cycle words floating or jabbing, stabbing streams of unconsciousness giving you fits and bits and pieces leaving you with loose ends to tie up the morning after |
