Usually, the things at war in my head have civil conversation
“We are going to execute Tunisia”,or T as she was called,
was nearly six feet tall -she arrives at a dig site
putting a fire alarm bell outsidein my vision, which only lasted a half-second
my brains were being rattledthe chances of meeting a half-decent Sudanese
brain with the spinal cord hanging downFather, into your hands I lay my soul
Trinidad And Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistanthere were loads of orange trees, and then it hit me
Korea had one chance the whole half and scored itafter freezing my brain out for 7 long days in China
I ran the Paris half-marathonmy head was jerking on my neck
I really regret having a film camera at the timeI felt as if all of my bones had been relocated to
the Jersey Shore, my ancestral homeland.First of all, the United States is not “my country” and
after Royal Mail sold off the Queen’s heada German Mark IV medium tank raced up a narrow farm road
dropping anchor and grabbing unwary Europeans to take to Morocco.Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey,
but no dizzy spells.Chug water while trying to recap last night
top notes of Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian mandarin.There’s the half-French, half-Mexican party
princess from Buenos Aires Ben directsthem to the window they look outside
to see Locke standing.At this point we headed over to the Vatican
about four hours later I was bored out of my brainso we decided to head toward Shoreditch
there were at least as many Jews from Yemenparking your better half outside a train toilet
Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Tuvala.Our plan now calls for him to fight outside of New England
ironically, half is probably all that was left of the young Brazilian’s headthere are goat herders in Tunisia, an urban deaf-mute teenie bopper in
Gainesville, probably half the women – including me -head up the west side of Seneca
with my head sewn to the carpetand the US flag flies at half-staff outside the US
stock dip triggers protests in BangladeshOf Africa Egypt smile and Libya Tunisia and Algeria
I already learnt not to beat my head on the “capitalist wall” butwet myself and put my knickers on my head to dry them
my brain was pretty odd –when my father flew to Scotland on May 10, 1941
Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head outside London,Tunisia, Egypt, Kenya, Spain, Italy, Lamu
I am really hoping this red thing just beneath the head of my penisgoes three friends leave their mundane factory jobs and head
for India people chant during a demonstration in TunisArguably, my blog posts show new character since the exercise
machine crushed my head on a New Year’s morningdistraction from myself – we’re not about to recruit
a Yao Ming head of the Federal Reserve:The Shape of Things to Come #2 – Teleportation in Tunisia
shot through the head, and leave no wasteTogo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
Turkey, Turkmenistan, TuvalaI then proceeded to remove my kipah,
in most of the time –also, I won’t feast on your brains
if you run mine insteadLondon, don’t shave their body hair
on my head, and said, “Hey look, no horns!”
