Jan Brueghel the Younger’s A Still Life of a Tazza with Flowers (c. 1625)

绿洲 OASIS

digiorno rising crust pizza ... soft & tender on the inside ... crispy on the outside

rick ross owns many wingstops ... why he still sad 

did he make bad investments ... a parent dying usually leads to financial freedom

mid-atlantic yt accent ... wuz ur fav compliment 

my tears smell gud ... u look like tasty marzipan gnome 

appointed as minister w/o portfolio ... allowed to attend cabinet 

shoulda been a history major to repeat the mistakes of the past 

intervu where austin says he likes dark chocolate but “respects” ppl who like milk chocolate

if i saw him commit crimes i wouldn’t report it ... would provide false alibi 

disturbingly, tom cotton’s favorite food is birthday cake ... a clear sign of psychopathy

have a healthful & safe memorial day ... other days don’t be mad ... all days were created equal

down at the hunan wok 

pete doherty revealing he’s had both earlobes bitten off 

max the scrivener ... let’s gyrate like escargots 

respect me in the bedroom ... respect me while humming an old tune 

slapping against my ass like beads on an abacus 

before poetry no idea wuz a loon or a crone altho i’d met many 

memory long like a comet’s tail ... everything hurts 

the world always belongs to someone else 

until it’s urs
