This first (explicit) request to -del- memories. Blocked out others, found ’n out anyways, same difference. The facade is numb even as everything still there let’s keep it down lower than lord help me I’ll gatorsnap at any chance. Can’t stay once, can’t at all. Hooked, stuck making that little Wint Singer jowl — like a fish. Dragging and dragging and belaboring the point until I’m reeling, I’m inexplicably in.
So imagine the way [Roland M-DC1, 169 Aaaah!] smelt and then hung up to dry, smoked-salmonesque. A negative connotation, and for what? This that pure; that, “We won’t because that’s somehow better than we will.”
