WORK ON PAPER NO. 5

A common voice of facts
Can embrace the head
In August.
I am the son of Stimulus!
Are you able to read that?
“Continue” sounded as though we were going to
Be careful of our words
They slide.
Actions contra mundum (intentions).
Carnage at target range.
Explore the phobia of zero
By diving through the ring.
