Did you mention to my mother that on Sundays you would like her to prepare you a picnic basket? And that you want golden eggs inside the basket. I mean real golden eggs like laid from a genetically engineered hen who has a metallic bowel system that would just crank out lead-based alchemy products and then shimmer to gold as the oxygen released them into the daylight out of the dark recesses of the fowl’s interior bowel.

The impregnated
The solidified sense
The thousands and thousands of copies and millions of reproductive technology that came flooding down the pipeline, down the tubes
ALLISON

Don’t tell me I didn’t fax it to you.
Fax fax fax
