Signs #96<\/strong><\/p>\n

just wonderland    cherish judgement picture primitive
\nfirst paragraph taken on holiday
\n       \t\t\t\t\tstart again caught
\nrestores coupled words dichotomy trouble sunk abrasive
\nvelcro adheres like adam & eve leaves figs light up
\nconversation picked from school
\n        \t\t\t\t\tblind debate
\nprobable no children no food gifted as talented
\npies passed sat tight say hello do I know you
\nnot me not today shepherded towards dark by sighed clouds
\nflashed up
\n    \t\tas start walking away slowly at home
\n    \t\twho is something finished but not yet
\n    \t\tpower’s monstrance flared connections<\/p>\n

bulb on battery talk strewn monitor steady angle
\nconsult watch hop down run on a long time open
\nverdict quick wash decision vacates to garden city<\/p>\n

Signs #97<\/strong><\/p>\n

clean join break from club a seasonal forgetting
\nlime fresh tongue your tantrum is
\n        \t\t\t\t \t\u2018a taste sensation’
\nrevelation back booked from beyond grave imagine
\nsleight as dove falls dead propaganda processed
\nconcise art of lips synching eats from your hand
\n    \tmade picture post-colon you all inventive right
\n    \tthink hats off blaze on gun-smooth pate<\/p>\n

such stuff remains are laid of
\n    \t\tskeletal fingers point through dust
\ngold banned diamonds too late pass please if you’re coming pearly knocking
\nwho wants you spiral suck-up docks ablaze your knack for displacement heaven
\ncellar open a crack fly-tipping in your own home teeth clenched on
\nlanguage who sees me huge with your flesh right out of
\ngreeting sugar just delivered
\n    \t\t\t\ta client you need to continue
\n    \t\t\t\thang up the intended unintendable
\n    \t\t\t\twhom was meant who meant what<\/p>\n

Signs #98<\/strong><\/p>\n

every shot line of screenplay
\n    \t\t\t\tdelayed<\/p>\n

so<\/p>\n

hen do pulls stag do pint \/ springs pension surprise
\nage no object happy scrutiny oceanic whitetips never verified
\nchance so negative chairman of the shock
\ncleared of harassing wife’s lover jumped on web
\nwhere everyone looks scruffy except generation xy<\/p>\n

beat to activate   get stuck in unofficial house cardiac
\nofficer stop that cardigan out of hours arrest hands mid gesture
\nto save over 40% of conversation her letter was posted feet first
\nin an explosion of sex selection and mushrooms manana<\/p>\n

    \tthink backlog bonanza & you’re just about crossing that diy cultural desert
\n    \tassets corked in premium qualification process
\n    \txed out zero immorality not a serious business \/ top layer of middle
\n    \tparency rating falls 2.2 to 2.0 trans-domestic [click]
\n    \tput off revolution capped instead retwist again to open fire<\/p>\n
