Large Continents Lose Weight Love Call
during the heightened middle of large continents
lose weight love call
the theater roof turned into a werewolf
but werewolves were illegal
so the roof was handcuffed by the
proper authorities and if you know
any good lawyers please call the save the werewolf roof
foundation. i thought i had the number
but when i went to count on it, it was
missing. as for those large continents
attempting to lose weight, they have had
too many diet books weighing down on their hair,
so all they really have to show is headaches.
the love call still works though. you just
got to plug yourself into it, and then watch
the colors and follow through on the sound.
you can get photos of the proper authorities
handcuffing the theater roof. you can frame them
and tell your friends that the law does work.
the love call will still find you.
those large continents will become slim,
and you can fit into them all over again.

The Girl With The Red Hair

the girl with the red hair and blue eyes
rode marlon brando across the mountains
as the festivities opened their mouths and
the entire audience, forever growing,
somehow fitted in comfortable. Nobody
bellyached or screamed, and all you can do
is stand back in awe of the juggernaut as
it juicyfruits its way across the
telegraph wires of love.the girl with the red hair
and blue eyes sculpted an escape hatch that we
all tried to get into at once, causing
dire repercussions and massive traffic jams
of headaches. did you ever find the name of
the scene that made the rest of it understood?
si se puede, the doctor claims, before he
injects you with the sun.
