That’s lie!—
Str8t assholes run the show
They’re all Number One

A-2

A for Adolescence—
Inextricably immediate
Shamelessly involuntary

A-3

Out-of-the-blue—
Prissy Proustian-esque
Cumly wetdream Other

A-4

Vast, tremulous—
Sea of Death nightmares
Wet dream graveyard

Keeping me awake
He was so horsy

Blowing my brains out

Spreading his thighs
Hot breathing meat
