Always polite to officers
Smiling often to disarm
The energetically cruel
Blood outside for animals
A memory of dominance
The soldier biting your stomach
Sneaking to wash
The horse running into walls
New teeth in the baby's mouth
The baby moves to your other breast
The forearm of your lover
Adding water to food
Full of swallowed blood
Son of a rapist
I raise my arms to him
The child with a hand in her
Birds eating them
Property seized by the zealous
Your mother with no real power
Thinking while held down
Agreeing to stay still
Waiting to be transported
Eye cut by flying glass
The child walks on a broken leg
Bone visible through the forehead
Biting the helper
Chewing wood for comfort
Docile so he is fast
Dying from knowing
Parents quiet when you are taken
Writing on the walls at night
Killing effeminate men
The boy urinates in class
The legs of you mother
Using god
Expedient policy
No chance to effect the ending
Stupid sentences everywhere
Who gave milk
Who made beds
Who lived in the woods
Who ran to the river
Always polite to officers
Smiling often to disarm
The energetically cruel
Blood outside for animals
A memory of dominance
The soldier biting your stomach
Sneaking to wash
The horse running into walls
New teeth in the baby's mouth
The baby moves to your other breast
The forearm of your lover
Adding water to food
Full of swallowed blood
Son of a rapist
I raise my arms to him
The child with a hand in her
Birds eating them
Property seized by the zealous
Your mother with no real power
Thinking while held down
Agreeing to stay still
Waiting to be transported
Eye cut by flying glass
The child walks on a broken leg
Bone visible through the forehead
Biting the helper
Chewing wood for comfort
Docile so he is fast
Dying from knowing
Parents quiet when you are taken
Writing on the walls at night
Killing effeminate men
The boy urinates in class
The legs of you mother
Using god
Expedient policy
No chance to effect the ending
Stupid sentences everywhere
Who gave milk
Who made beds
Who lived in the woods
Who ran to the river
