that's how to work it, peel it off like branches from a tree. that's how it's done. carry that branchless tree, staggering from post to post like a drunken man; and when you're finished you can stick that trunk in a prefab hole, and nail your declaration to it like nailin' jello to a wall ' jello to a wall.

I know a few prefab holes I'd like to stick my trunk into. they say it feels like warm jello pie... but like this poem it always leaves me feeling a bit empty, and wanting more. Here's an 7 for the intrigue.

Ah you got me there. I read this every night before I go to sleep, and dream of sweet naked posts in jello.

I think I need the same drugs as you to feel this right. Still, better than a lot of crap that gets nailed to the wall.
