Kaheeda Smith has HIV

Make Hiawatha Golf Course a public sex forest

No Nazis in Valhalla

 

Dog found; black and white husky

 

His hair was white like wool, and his eyes were like blazing fire… His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

 

Suck a dick 😀

Stop Endless U.S. War

 

Suck a [sticker of a fat cat in a clamshell bikini]

Suck a [sticker of two girls with geese for hair kissing]

Suck a [sticker of a 20-sided di]ck

Suck a [Goldfish™ (est. 1962) cracker packaging sticker]

 

(caesura for the artist who draws pubic hair on lampposts, their creativity drowned out by the ubiquitous “suck a dick 😀” scrawler; the papers the archeologists could have written!)

 

St. Paul is fucking nasty

You all hurt my Indian pride

 

STOP BIG PHARMA

Vote or Die! Reparations Apparel

PROTEST AT KLOBUCHAR’S

Native Nation

TAKE BACK PRIDE

 

Prostitution is Sin WORK

 

WINSTON SMITH WAS ASSASSINATED ACAB

40% of police officers are domestic abusers

eyeliner FUCK THE LAW!!!

 

WE MAY BE UGLY BUT WE STILL GET HUNGRY

 

I Love U Kaheeda

The time is NOW, the only TRUE thing to Let Go of is fear, That WILL MAKE ROOM for the “Incredible”

 

Pinky’s House

Dress for Success no longer here

This building is condemned

Single Family Home 3030?

 

How many years do you expect God to allow this to go on?

 

(caesura for the silence of scraped sticker backings, anti-vaxx and deep state conspiracy websites; DNA tests detect torn fingernail fragments and there are scratches in the metal that could have come from keys, you can cover up the stencil of George Floyd’s face if you want to but this is my commute too and I can be twenty minutes late to work, I can’t wait for the archeologists to cuss me out knowing that I consigned something—they’ll never know it was you—to dust)

(in the next breath the archeologists will give thanks to the evangelicals, the only ones to put any thought at all into sticker glue strength, who chose paper stock that does not decompose, didn’t even tear when someone ripped it from the staples)

 

Suck a [sticker of a dog with a unicorn horn]

 

I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar he will send down his roots.

 

SOMEONE IN THE MIDWAY LOVES ME

 

Kaheeda

Use This Door

Don’t believe in the wrong aliens

I am on my fourth orbit, scholar, my dark, wet nose still holding
When the heir becomes a daughter…
Daniel’s birthday happened to be an F day in Brooklyn. The soldiers at FEMA’s Navy Yard outpost would let Morgan Foster through today. They would let her charge a power bank for a few minutes.
