Enough with this droopy sloopy gooey sadness. No one is there anyway. I publish to the void and the bots. Don’t tap on the glass. There is no one out there. Only aliens reading this a million years from now in a distant galaxy. Lyric is good to go Too Late For Sleeping Melody is pretty too. It’s a song about love, my alien friends . An emotion we humans had before we blew ourselves up. Off to the studio.

They taste good to her
Ah Summer Breeze always brings lovely wisdom I do not have. Here is Crazy Old Lady
