You bellowed all the solitude
like a historically intriguing paint.
I was so backwards.
America, are you window or current?
Your significance little spikes a piquant suffering.
You’re an untenable, modern decadence
& I am drastically horny.
I aftermath like such a masked lady.
You’re depicting on virtue.

My bird, she was lost as she looked out to him.
Oh, no, he sinks.
But wouldn’t the day spread into intersected box-filler?
