a kid and his friends turn over gravestones in nashville

the kid escapes to kentucky

where he gets two social security numbers

the first number is for the 'alias' ass-face slut hugger 

the second number is for the 'alias' gentle salmon coaxing a bear 

to cry a place in louisiana has a small town with it's own version

of the IRS a small depressed woman

takes a ginger root to the door of the faux-IRS office

which is in a building like something from a wild west town

and she wraps the ginger root in wet paper towels

she places the ginger root on the front step of the office

an faux-IRS bear wearing a suit and purple glasses

crushes the ginger root and walks out into the center of the dusty road

it's hard to finish this story because i feel like it will never be successful

the landlord's nephews electrically shock their tenenant Teo

Teo walks from his kitchen to his living room with a bowl of ramen noodles

the shock comes through the floor into his feet and he drops the bowl due to surprise

and electric shock Teo cleans up the noodles

then hangs a sign down so that the landlord who's already watching tv

with his own bowl of spicey ramen noodles sees it the sign says

'i just got shocked in the worst way'

then the landlord presses a button on his 'lazyboy' and

the landlord's apartment drives away slowly, like an epcot ride

Teo says to himself, while staring at grave stones

left in the place of his landlord's apartment, 'i've been abandoned, but i guess

i'm not hurt. my landlord is gone. that is kinda good.'

'the fact remains', the landlord abandoned Teo
i'm only tired when i start reading

A weird sock can get away with
Describing themselves as a lost step in life
a dirty sock can be a dad poem
dad poem rests on a rock next to an anchor
dad poem thinks garter snake cut by lawnmower
dad poem lights a cigarette
we are in the mood for barbeque tonight

Yesterday's massive sell-off claimed the lives of 80 blue whales.

Friday's heat wave melted the jacket of an elderly man.

The decline in the employment rate last month resulted in more syphilis in Chelsea.

The declining spider population along the Sunken Cave trail caused a spur in social interaction
among the gypsy moth population.

feeling slightly less severely-depressed
feel like depressed is the new crack
feel like depressed doesn't help depressed
feel like guy looked lion head
feel like guy with mirror cried when i cried
feel like sometimes late at night i cry on trains and don't care
feel like small patch of grass shrinking
you were really good. i liked all of you.
people were coming to church.
people began escaping from buses into church.
it began to snow, a commercial came on, and i liked you.
you were really good. i held you like a bear in your bed.
