sculpture
You’d best beware!
tie 7 rows, string the launch thread
Love is a gypsy’s child,
weld a small nut onto a big nut
it has never known the law
bend 20 hooks
The bird you hoped to catch
take pliers with you
beat its wings and flew away …
bolt the shoes onto the legs
love stays away, you wait and wait;
rest of the week:2. gum turns around
when least expected, there it is!
change the nutr.therapist’s time
All around you, swift, swift,
fasten the collar
it comes, goes, then it returns ...
sewing spikes and cutting off heads
you think you hold it fast,
weld the strings
it flees
draw and cut one freq. at the time
you think you’re free,
shape the tibia protectors, weld fast
it holds you fast.
walking test
Oh, love! love! love! love!
