wedding cake that i took were so real. and i kept a distance:
the complications cloud the postcards and blips through fiberoptics,
as the girls with the pigtails were running from little boys wearing
bowties their parent bought: "i'll catch you this time!"
crashing
through the parlor doors, what was your first reaction?

they won't listen when the casualty rate's near 100%, and there
isn't a pension for second best or for hardly moving...
