Talking Gibberish to Strangers

oh some poor legacy to stone this becomes

species already overcome, this is the finish

terrain of settlers

Jim, find horror and show your husband

throwing my show down and saying

special and then younger and you will find

it easy when an English

priest or Nicola of the U.S. are away from

    country of origin

getting used to you

what was I supposed to feel

be an English online greyjoy

we just knew

the disadvantage is important
