What happens when you pass the new releases tables and the animals section in quick succession… Be who you would be if you measured everything in dog years Indulge in pleasures without guilt Break for nothing that’s not in your way The swirls in the corner of your vision push weather patterns aside to make [...]
Had to get this one out before bedtime… 1 The accumulated scenery hides its condition —Can you see the face hiding amongst the dots? —Can you find the words hiding amongst the static? 2 When reflections stare [...]
