Hallucinations


 


But yes.  
He's fired 

Just sameing.
And fire. 

The warps 
weren't happening  

when you were eating  
vegan fare. Just saying. 

That's touchy. Ooh.  
Why’re you touchy? 

It’s touchy of me
to call you touchy? 

Hal says gutters are of a wall system.
In the new gutter system extended word. 

If you did what I told you, 
you would have ears in your eaves. 

It is advised  
to delete them. 

I say find out  
what they hear. 

One should call.
It is written.  

Our project manager
never talked to me. 

Directly. 
They left  

messages : “No  
more curspe worbs.” 

They say: they refuse to werp.
There is a wirp stoppidge.

“For to warp a long hard hour,
oh, is to be alive!” 

Alive!  
Arrive! 

In the colloquial
of the great lizard. 

Blowflies and Barbary lions 
Both scavengers. 

The taste of the word taste  
is silly. Image: several 

white backed vultures feed 
on the dead body of a spotted hyena.

I feel confident they waited
the appropriate amount of time

to be that way.
