The Smart of My Example Target Heartrate
Jessica Comola
I write a thing. I write a thing again. I repeat a thing. I
repeat a thing. I open with:
Reap, reap *flicks holy water on you*
I’m not listening for the sound so much when I shake a thing
I mean for it to break.
What’s a one-bell tower I’ve figured out how to configure—it
dangs-dangs in the conservatory. It was maybe used to kill a body.
It’ll not work. It’ll not ever get blown right off. Maybe a
wholesale Jonny has games, spanks a portmanteau with the great glean of a
halligan bachmantra.
Bag. Swang. A body does a thing.
Is your icon a teeny winky?
Mine’s a penitent. I’m a penitent. I take cholesterol home
tests and film them.
At Saint Andrew’s Episcopal High there’s a hack machine
under heat performing on easy-print dollies. I can lift the cheval’s behanged
heft. I can fix a blown part.
I’ll just be needing now an 8mm video adapter to show you
that wrecked hawking in which all unicellular organisms involved begin to drift
spirographically: thus the generation of a new coat of arms, thus half the
world’s oxygen is an awkward stranger standing over what’s left of my left
shoulder.
