The reasonable man carries a reasonable wallet , the wallet frequently monied . The reasonable man’s reasonable wallet contains a reasonable bus pass . Now---if you are , say , staying in that body of yours , & the reasonable man finds that body of yours an unreasonable ambulant , does he say that ...

                      a) You don’t look ...                       b) I’m not into ...                       c) Get those hands where I can buy ’em or I’ll shoot !

The Tetsuo Harano Tunnels Are Colonial Infrastructure !

This road takes me home , this road is a bypass , & this road is under construction . Thus , the lane ahead closes ; narrows in 1 mouth & out the other .

The US military made it thru the mountain w blasting bellies full of fluff piece & infrastructure bc the US Military put their objects where your objects is . bc the US Military say wine is coffee-life & in-between the heart is a lonely house hunter , where we settled on freezing all the head(s) . Something about stock , but I’ve grown sick eating         eating         eating                the dead.
