as the world was gearing up to:
         it's usual...  i decided to stop smoking...

and find the crucial difference
between iggy pop &    
tom waits...

     ever since: my blue valentine...
of the latter...
           i never quiet took off from  the stooges -
   until of course: the bowie years...
of the former...

        an exercise in freedom of speech -
blunt knife politico -
molotov cocktail thrown into
      a cesspit -
                and...
                
  here's to going to bed by 12am.

- and some could call this
a new "aesthetic"...
           ℜ ℑ ℘:
                    ∀(for all)
                    ∃ (there exists)
             a      ∇ (backward difference)...

▒ fuzzy & brittle...

        ▓ shackles of a gymnast...
             █ loop hole in heaven...
    tomb rake: box-car rituals... of...
                a day to celebrate...
horse-racing...

               ∰? a symbol of being bulletproof...

summer: ℜ ℑ ℘ ℰ
           hell: even autumn should
apples and pears be questionable
when all the tender fruits

square from a virtue: lost to...
the circus and some sudoku:

the television... and...
most probably the brain...
    
                   ∀⅜ of the "truth"...
what's convenient for one party...
and inconvenient for the other...

                         the old sentiment: braille
vs. morse... binary for the latter...
d'ah and daesc... 0 1 0...
    and of course: semi-colon and comma
for... yawn...
