Hey could we manifest Portia setting up a time bomb in Drewpy's spine or something during the surgery?

Like maybe sneaking in a stent that will fail or some stitches that will dissolve after awhile?

Turns out he set up his own shooting/fake murder attempt, & then suddenly he drops dead after all?

red autumn roses leaves dun as winter lawns photograph

among October's
vehement reds

only the ruby silk
petals of roses

defy the flame of maple
(her sugar-sap heart

yearning to the calm
cold of winter)

field of gold, field of crows, sitting flying talking to us forever Japanese Screen painting

Eight crows a wish,
nine crows a kiss,
ten crows a day
of joyous bliss.

Eleven crows wait
to see what comes,
twelve crows a protest
with songs & drums!

field of gold, field of crows, sitting flying talking to us forever Japanese Screen painting

One crow sorrow,
two crows joy,
three crows a girl,
four crows a boy.

Five crows silver,
six crows gold,
seven crows a secret,
never to be told.

blooming dandelions, & one in the center gone to seed

We here in Seattle, home of the Naked Solstice Cyclers, support your need for distraction. We advise terrycloth seat covers for comfort & hygiene.

Also, for whatever the Very Bad Thing is —
((((gentle hugs)))) if wanted, & dandelions for hope.

Solstice Cyclists - Wikipedia

Naked bike rides are a thing up here in the Pacific NW.

Yes, people do ride bare-assed. There's a parade every year in Seattle, lots of people come out.

I have always hoped they get terrycloth covers for their bike seats cause YIKES ON BIKES lol
