“Up until 1981, all classes of income were rising at about the same rate. However, in about 1981 a split started to happen.

1. fumes climb crack-o-wall sonic mosquito ballad repellent coil burns
sleep and wake cycle reek of black and white contrast demons rule the night hungry gut shouting in vain wide eyes fixed on ceiling tight
2. Ylang-ylang spreads Buttering the wallpaper Moon sings lullaby
Travelling life’s path Purpose in fate defeated One rusty, one cake They are women by design Yet separated by rest.
