Crowds

hello men hello men left it liminal
women you scale it out
bomb ball a bungle
a chasm glass toll a fire of film flimsy

hello minuscule Pluto crash
rally an adagio

Andre man sax as a flu men float boat at all
feel abashed fall jade a folly die
flu emboss

zero bad add rad day
gray lewd gig load a god dash
glue glad men Golgotha road a gland rib-eye

hello men hello men left it liminal
women you scale it out
bomb ball bungle
a chasm glass toll a fire of film blister
hello minuscule Pluto crash
rally an adagio
