Care instructions
You will love the
taste of its origins
and you will let it
bark at you.
the confessed traitor
and its bitch-blue
purrs
True story
A proselytizing sausage
and a 300-year-old horse
join an ambitious corpse
for dinner
In the valley of belonging
all utensils are painted silver
and no one has a change of
heart
Only child
Big mouth fails at
persuading the jungle
the brutal notes of
translation
collapse tunnels
especially his favorite
Greasy punchline
The award winner
sings be Happy
for me (or else)
kneel at the foot
of my accomplishments
(or else)
lest they vanish with me
oh noooo
oooooo
ooo
