earthworks

i’ll be set off a mushroom-cloud-takeoff blossoming over radioactive arms a state-of-the-art shadow i’m defending me ooh in testudo-style i’m defending me twin to phalanx columns tightly compressed in to make myself less vulnerable i’m not organic : :  just being cautious it’s like walking on eggshells around you yes i’ll sneak up {thick in stealth} and inhale you Castle Bravo-genre veiled yet detected to fall out wrought such dangerous outcomes setting up earthworks : :  just being caustic i don’t have a clue what you’re going to do i’ve been well endowed with an abdomen full of silk to weave a wall assault on the obvious befriending the silent...like me

Notes
