TO CAR PARK<\/div>\n
pine needles align<\/div>\n
iron filings<\/div>\n
magnet rain<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
tree vomits dried<\/div>\n
apricot egg fruit spore<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
probably we are already dead and these are<\/div>\n
the sights of the things that did for us.<\/div>\n
My next word will be a spit-up slice<\/div>\n
of orange.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I mean we\u2019ve all seen this movie and it\u2019s not enough.<\/div>\n
There\u2019s bears in the woods, but<\/div>\n
bears mind bear business.<\/div>\n
I\u2019m no porridge-gobbler B&E.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
bark twists bulges out<\/div>\n
gravity and hysteresis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
sky is a ghost<\/div>\n
purple, and sliding the wrong<\/div>\n
way from the downstairs wind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
These are the signs of the dead:<\/div>\n
WELCOME, and<\/div>\n
EXIT.<\/div>\n
