Feeling Dramatic in the Sun with Paprika Cola

Sun on the A-frame ladder parsed out notes reflecting
A tip burn disco
The rhubarb couldn’t bother and the cherry didn’t mind

To Feed Back

Center like the sun
Center like a son
Seeing dashboard doubles and avoiding sensations of being crushed in a metallic way
Thinking a form is edible then catching your tooth
