    Hey Cookie Bumstead & The Lonesome Space Cadets, You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation?
