1.Storm in a Cup
A summer before the last summeron a bus I thoughthow below a perfect stormthere must be these ugly deep sea fish with lanternsin dark cold constant waters
Now, basking in the sunlight of the calm oceanI think about these ugly beasts againbut these stale waters are too shallowfor life aquatic

1.Storm in a Cup
The day I left felt like cutting limbsand bliss like shit spread on a nuts housethat does not existThe memory is blurrylike the painting that was given to meit was depreciated fully

3. Suboptimal
grasping for despair, climbing over airdining with debt collectors and prostitutesreading them fairy talesabout brave malesturning the other butt cheekresting my tested mindno peace in my veinsI want to feel cold heartless strengthfree of dreams scattered on thousand plateauswords instead of picturesgaps instead of wordsbeeps, likes, updatesit is a small world

3.Landscapes
Can of WD40can be used to improve your surroundingsand surfaces that appear below idealamassed rust and dust this spray will heal

just slow down the rhyme
smoking beer and drinking joints

Typeset in Alterno by David Chmela
Alterno is a text typeface that brings together two opposite directions. — How different the styles within the family could be and still work together? — In Alterno, seriousness and static nature of the roman faces comes together with expressiveness and dynamics of italics in a harmonious whole.
