Tarot
TR Brady
You will have a dream self He will draw squares in a queer arrangement to pass the time He will assign each square a job He will lose his favorite sweater in one square and finger puppet in another He will take pictures of his head and keep them in a folder He will call the folder am I losing my hair or my mind You will put your dream self in a diorama and he will have to live there He will winter in a house with no egress door He will miss the smell of meat and check the diorama’s fridge for something to eat You will forget to stock the fridge You will cast a shadow for the diorama to live in You will be so dreamy
