Consensus diagnoses based on
different synoptic patterns
derive from a nonsense line
in an old ballad. Omit that, & the
two shades don’t really match.

Frictional Fiction

We lean out of the window
as the car goes
round the corner. Too fast
but we don’t care. It’s
life, it’s sun, it’s something
to do as the car
leans out the window as

look younger than

A (slightly modified) found poem

If you’re not the biggest guy on the block,
you need to level the playing field…
That’s why I’m sending you this 10-million
volt spam gun. It’s the best way to protect
yourself against bigger, stronger attackers…

You don’t need to know MMA or jiu-jitsu…
You don’t need to be accurate…
You just press a button & ZAP —
your attacker is disabled, giving you
the chance to get away safely.

The best part is…Unlike knives & guns…
Spam guns don’t cause serious damage.
A lot of people would prefer to electrocute
their opponent than have to stab or shoot them…
So — if you’re one of those people… We’re

giving away 500 FREE Spam Guns (10 million volt)
to help American families stay safe. I personally
carry one for times I don’t want to use my Ruger…
& I make sure my wife & daughter keep one of
these in their purse when they leave the house…

It’s a troubling world out there, & it’s better
to be prepared. But as I said, there are only 500
free spam guns to giveaway…So you better
grab one quick if you want one. => Click Here
