TO INFINITY
If bodies mate along the way
red symbolizes the blood shed for freedom
if phones are crossed to arrange a meeting
then black symbolizes mystery
if something emerges orthogonally from a membrane
the link may be apparently clogged
if the mouth of caves opens in the centre of a wall
that intersect to infinity
a lion should be your mate
if you have to read a tricky puzzle
try to find out if it is made
of polyethylene - polypropylene - polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride
what is observed at the nanoscale
when pouring liquid water on sodium polyacrylate?
what happens?
