What is the current that makes machinery, that makes it crackle, what is the current that presents a · long line and a necessary waist. What is this current. What is the wind, what is it. Where is the serene length, it is there and a dark place is not a dark place, only a whi·te and red are black, only a yellow and green are blue, a pink is scarlet, a bow is every color. A line distinguishes it. A line just distinguishes it.plain2024-06-08T16:02:11-07:00
