Her cough like distant machine guns Crackles in the heat Too many barters with her body Not enough nights walking to quit A stray residual benefit of a party She gets others to sell her time Hers hasn't anything to spend She's too quick to touch Cutting herself conversationally Down to the roots Even with the pain Thornless and vulnerable

Thornless Benefits Her Slide
Her cough like distant machine guns Crackles in the heat Too many barters with her body Not enough nights walking to quit A stray residual benefit of a party She gets others to sell her time Hers hasn't anything to spend She's too quick to touch Cutting herself conversationally Down to the roots Even with the pain Thornless and vulnerable
