Left-handed bowling alleys of the future
\nwill become sudden glory things one day.
\nThe roads that drove the tribe to next to nowhere
\nwill be rerouted, find another way.

\nand the Earl don’t give a shit.
\nThe Head Pin Temple Lanes don’t make the news.
\nBut Buddha still wears multicolored shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
