Ryan Walker

from Long Term Raisin

the entire act is its punctuation

you too.

a fantasy in the mention.

obvious gold

do not delete

sorry I missed you

I know that there are kids

because I have been to an aquarium

our tractionless interactions

if you’ve never been endorsed

you are in poor taste

I didn’t complain I reported

beer, you know

stay for the practice
