He is distracted by the parade of toddlers as princesses and pirates in the arms of women and the occasional man.

One babe in arms is mummy wrapped in white gauze. Yesterday Jackson’s subject search focus was duct tape, pressure sensitive in his mind to lift the warts off the derma of a gone world.

WHAT’S NEO PAGANISM? OH MY GOD! YES! YES! THIS IS WHAT I NEED!
