​container the Nevada pea

lot pear lot ship them
across contains the never



cuttlefish parrot irks island
test floats text floats the
first marsh first market
that the eye mindset
gullible gobbles a cuttlefish



the exterior same dish same
diameter regulatory burl but
reveal and teeth roving with
teeth marvels per foot
teeming in eighteen exteriors



the sea slurp then octopus
cut-off and cut-up Mary
Hats a cattle Lamb above
reproach about approach
to the Platonic half-a-bat
sacoglossan regrow a sea



skating parks a short wall parks
the ice nice nose is a rose is a
nose is how it is how it opens is
