sometimes art is a lot of tiny little decisions. rules are usually in place to provide a certain outcome to a situation, but if you can understand the situation and what is going on breaking rules isnt much of a problem. in the background the fan is turned to high, its most maximum setting. at least i've heard a new summer band with a perfect summer name. crocodiles. the time is slowly going on all around and words and thoughts are just spilling around, with there being this collection in the universe which is all extra.
