amend/amends/amendments #19
it’s fine it’s a cocked wrist close the door
the erosion takes the walls first thumb and index
of our country the useless knocking is palm delinquent
amend/amends/amendments #21
white sink easiest and most beautiful mouth to ruin
be singular in your epic smothering be a history
worker piled upon by need erase all dull fantasies
