AMALIA TENUTA
WET VALUE
survive world all world running people the hell of people running watch
ah ah ah
when im outside people spit
little white wheels map deliveries
warming vents wrap jersey walls
& this is what ur worried about
tingle tangles the worker’s
soul tree & epic gardening
i would crease the jaw’s shadow in my dealer’s dressing room for chopova
we railed the blue express looting airlocked whitefish & tasty dots
rings caught tags
life tricky like life
off strawberry hills
pop the time of accidents suspended in air like flies
la la la
––––
trouble with me
warm up girl
in growth i too pony forgiveness
soar similar to unknown participants
carrying fur across states not in a bad way
simply continuing shut up within spots you may not know as all air has vision in its control
like a sighting
red dots describe
self-adequation not in this world can play you
among its closing off gestures
you’re unopened
