name became her first.
How ruthless of her, and yet

was broken into pieces.
Whether it can be
peaced back together again
depends on his adhesive.
Friday June 09, 2023
Seven times a day
turns out to be doable:
no more, and no less.

their means, nor their end.
They sit and they stare because
they just don’t care anymore.

the system seduced,
reduced, and reintroduced

try and find out about him?
try and find out about him?

something incriminating
was said among them
that they don’t want to disclose.
It is beyond his control.

late-night reaction for the
old OLSB
to be thoroughly returned
to its earlier glory.

system of the world,
the better off you will be.
The powers that be can see.

a critical review on.
Tuesday June 27, 2023

the present state of affairs
