Birds use up energy wheeling for no reason. They never heard of utility. Animals are perfectly adapted to their natural environment is so obviously a lie, you only have to look at them. Most of them can barely do their job. The West has run out of convincing principles. There’s nothing remotely funny about streaming Jim Davidson from a foreign server. People who are infatuated, in laser sights or fleeing persecution give it more than people giving it 110%. Anyway if you beat the system in a casino etc. you just get banned. Why do toilet bowls in the States brim so full with water? It is a form of absolution.<\/p>\n
Environmental Art<\/strong><\/p>\n Small birds are improbably compact. Hummingbirds’ wings are the immaculate dreams of dental hygienists. Turtles are what slow motion looks like from an aeroplane. Their flippers are elliptical sanders for the beach. At hen parties in Ancient Greece they would sacrifice ten thousand hens and burn their corpses to form an altar. Archaeologists can tell such an altar by its congealed strips of pink sash. The material being flame retardant and non biodegradable. Sheep hardly ever stop eating grass. What have they discovered?<\/p>\n Waiters’ Captain<\/strong><\/p>\n When I go to restaurants I like to try everything off of the menu. It can become unsanitary. I have to ask permission to leave the table. I had to stop going jogging. I’d been running at a loss. I would cry in the shower after, undetectably. If you sleep in a barn you’re going to get voles. If you sleep in a rap you’re going to get vowels. If you sleep in a nightclub you’re going to get escorted out with no pretence at kindness or sympathy. Clouds are full of ice and demons. Governments are at an increasing loss. What disgusts me is that if you eat enough chocolate brownies you can’t operate a mobile phone.<\/p>\n Installation Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n Nightclub toilet stalls remind us of the depth of human suffering. Why don’t they have plaques? Shopping is the most important thing you can do. If you sleep in the treetops you must be prepared for the unexpected. E.g. a storm, a bat etc. The designer jeans I wanted had some paint on them. What is seldom sought, always proffered, often disregarded and religiously metrical? It’s not what you think. You know I filled the oil lamp again tonight. When will I learn? I fear the rebels. I fear the regime. I fear consumption more than anything. And the sweet, noxious smell of every Co-op.<\/p>\n of you ( little bit afraid romance )<\/strong><\/p>\n I might as well ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/strong> Nightclub toilet stalls remind us of the depth of human suffering.

\nhave known you
\nall these light bulbs filled
\nwith honey,
\nanything you stole
\nunintentionally from me
\nin a great languor
\nwhich couldn’t be misinterpreted
\nexcept by the kind
\nof person there is none of,
\nI’d go right to where
\nyou come from
\nthe sound of night time
\nin a motorway tunnel
\n(am I inside something
\nor huger than a land),
\nyour sickly childhood
\nis an ice muzzle
\na muscle bridle
\nclamping on the fortunes
\nthat spill in any case
\nfrom your outdishing mouth,
\nyou who are unlike
\nthe quietest thing
\nanyone would think of,
\nthe crown lads who always
\nthink of you but never
\nknow you the way I do,
\nyour face your skin
\ndusted with gunshot
\nresidue
\nyou suit perfectly
\nthe name I just gave you,
\nthere are facts we’re told
\nlike the brain will go on
\nfor six to twelve minutes
\nafter you appear.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.3ammagazine.com\/3am\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ianc-300x116.png\")
