::record:: | |
|
a teacher ::record:: helps a boy get a gun | |
|
it's about not ::record:: looking mistakable | |
|
::record:: | |
|
houndstooth | |
|
accordion attache | |
|
bounty hunter provisions | |
|
|
|
|
::record:: I told the teacher about Pietro's | |
|
I was angry with the police again | |
|
it was not my movie | |
|
I was mixed up in campaign finance reform | |
|
I was sweet shiftless and poor | |
|
|
|
|
and stricken | |
|
::record::, a boy is loaded | |
|
|
|
|
American Express makes it ::record:: better | |
|
|
|
|
|
"providing alternatives to jail for persons who pose no danger to the community" |
|
|
|
|
Loan Consolidators for your ::record:: problems | |
|

"but use purpose area #15A if primary focus is drug testing or purpose area #20 if focus is reducing jail crowding" |

Effective Sanctions that Fit the ::record:: Budget | |

|
somehow I was caught up in this |
|
|
|
|
|
and questioned about a family ::record:: resemblance |
|
|
|
|
so early in the morning | |
|
::record:: | |
|
the suspicious handbag on the sidewalk | |
|
|
|
|
the police are there | |
|
but I've neglected them | |
|
|
|
|
::record:: | |
|
|
|
|
I've been told it's the Decade of the Brain | |
|
|
|
|
I must step aside | |
|
|
|
|
because the opera construction | |
|
|
|
|
there's a public fund for demolition | |
|
|
|
|
::record:: if you can find it | |
|
|
|
|
how did the smallest children ::record:: capture | |
|
the 4-foot wingspan |
lash it to a branch |
|
so the sewer birds ::record:: | |
|
|
|
|
how did the smallest children | |
|
::record:: | |
|
and unchecked pestilence | |
|
|
|
|
I am asking because there's a question | |
|
hanged | |
|
|
|
|
in America | |
|
::record:: | |
|
the curiosity | |
|
of the fully-covered body | |
|
|
|
|
in America | |
|
[.............] | |
|
[.............] | |
|
of humility | |
|
|
|
|
one year later we don't know | |
|
what happened on the ::record:: plane | |
|
|
|
|
how he ::record:: got the gun | |
