AN OXYGEN-HYDROGEN HAZE.

AT LEAST TWO OF US ONE

OUR EXPLOSiVE HUMANiTY

FOR THE HOPE OF REAL...

FEELED iMPACT...iNTACT;

WHERE YES, iT WOULD BE

SO MUCH EASiER TO jUST...BLOW...

"THEY LOOK LiKE GOOD,

STRONG HANDS...DON'T THEY?"

ViRGiN WORDS FROM A

VETERAN MOUTH

FOR ViSiTORS FROM

MY HOMELAND.

REiGN COATS NEEDED

FOR THE RAiN, BUT ALSO

FOR THE THUNDERiNG LiMESTONE

TRAPPED UNDER OUR THUMBNAiLS.

GLASS FEATHERS

NOT AFRAiD OF THE SPLiNTERS

NOR THE FALLiNG OF DEAD LEAVES.
