ღ
say you saw it coming
duo can be day won or
loss, war waiting ready
ღ
dino mite gem shining
dior an ode to well wishes
so me say ego be gets woe
ღ
war owns a tag, dims west hem
sewn in to tens ion for today;
nets you on so & so on
ღ
shin raw, wet tit, oud d’gin
today, eels out sin wishes
becoming ewe-hog & nim
ღ
be for yes was don’t
law omits awe amid no,
man now a can non
ღ
for get his nothing, tin-woe
how will you owl on? ill thing;
read his will & sew it on
ღ
get out–con tag ion
day becoming lit thin
DNA a waits
ღ
get it in bro, new toe tag reads
dear today: loss was for coming.
tub nits will mite, tell of toying
