Then blah again to blah this time, where she blah blah with arty blah and blah in blah, took

Blah me. Blame you.

Blah you. About you. You blame me. Blah you.

I blah as you or blah by blah,

You know. You blah. You blah it out of blah.

Blah blah. Blah blah.

Blah blah, a blah,

Discovers blah and circles

Into blah. ‘My eyes,’ I scream.

And blah. There is. A blah blah blah.

On other blah. I see a blah.

Too blah, too blah blah blah.

As everything is blah.

Except my blah.

‘Stop blah,’ he blah

And something changes,

Motion stops.
