demons don't dwell deep

but buzz busy bouquets 

traded through together times

playing phony, plainly plight

lovingly loatheing  lonesome lands

swell sweetly searching sense

in inlays indeed intended

offering obscene opportunities

neverworld neigh need

altogether abandoning altruism anyone added

times took time till tranquility trickled through

in dog years

I am a tortoise
