Martin Rev's
sentient synth

morphs into
the Driller Killer.

FFS For Fuck's Sake FFS

dayglo dollar generals,

booby-trapped dumpsters,

roadkill raccoon replicants,

arterial plaque moisturizers,

feral baby auctions,

dry-aged, non-gmo foodies,

waffle house griddle-face,

burn-unit sexual delights,

snort-lines of dorito-dust,

plastic explosive butt implants,

terrorist homecoming dances,

vagina dentata prosthetics,

polaroids of skinned satans,

zoom conjugal tutorials in rust heaps,

nazi nfts of churches’ gloryholes
