Because Everything Can Kill You

time to dry out, sunshine.

*because everything can kill you, that's why.

storms not my rain anymore.

codex of the inherent skeptic:

like a cinch, tight-fitting ism's.

bring the world definition.

array of safety lines, just in case.

i may be lazy, but not ashamed.

*because everything can kill you, that's why.

fourty-two extra lives, full price after free trial*

i can eat this earth not just what grows in the store.

a phonetic, vocal dissent.

*because everything can kill you, that's why.

misnomer is my middle name.

monastic endeavors: a life of the ever-self-denied.

'just say 'no'' doesn't work here.

some folks smile and nod by default.

*because everything can kill you, that's why.

if we get really hungry, we'll always have the rich.

always another something else to covet.

pick your battles or they pick you.

joined as secrets of nothing.

*because everything can kill you, that's why.
