these are fixtures, daily grinding superficial. with little resemblance to the prophets we pray to. desperate men with facile tongues, perfect answers to petty, practiced questions.   and they, being so many with one discernible face, one alterable religion, liquid to the palms of deathly thirsty children, aim where aim would do the most to damage and we fail victim with only ourselves to blame.

note from apple river canyon #1
these are fixtures, daily grinding superficial. with little resemblance to the prophets we pray to. desperate men with facile tongues, perfect answers to petty, practiced questions.   and they, being so many with one discernible face, one alterable religion, liquid to the palms of deathly thirsty children, aim where aim would do the most to damage and we fail victim with only ourselves to blame.
