gargling laughter pours through hands and cloaks fingers in slippery oil so they slide helplessly around the pencil like a fly creeping up a car window only to thud back to the leather, but lexicons bloom like cancerous lilies   when the gentle flicks of the black letters kick a barbed ball into your lungs.

The Plath Effect
gargling laughter pours through hands and cloaks fingers in slippery oil so they slide helplessly around the pencil like a fly creeping up a car window only to thud back to the leather, but lexicons bloom like cancerous lilies   when the gentle flicks of the black letters kick a barbed ball into your lungs.
