"Around this wayward life"

Know well that, just as Platycerium sticks to the trunk an unbusy wayward is a potential fern (as proven by plastidial genetics) A wayward grows and burgeons according to his helplessness carries your roots and those other things that vertebrate you. A marble mortar I bear it on my back to the top of a hill I hesitate: let it fall carry it back to the top again. In these wayward times, I think about giving it other functions A mortar can shape If anything smashing, but congruent, marble will grant you the shape of an immortalized story of squared crockery. Let it fall.

Behold the disobedience to huge systemic structures “al ajo por ajo, y díscolo por díscolo”

If the garlic ain’t smashed The soup won’t suit How can I not understand such a simple equation? A marble mortar I bear it on my back to the top of a hill I hesitate: Smashing the garlic Let it fall with the substance If anything smashed, but effective Basil branch Get into that house before me, to heal the vibe
