Monitor Lizard

In NV comes a lizard under governance. You think you can govern venm like these. A monitor lizard of two years, Cobalt and cobalt-speckled, bright yellow speckled and moving like an electric S or torsion conceptual S with ten twines of heavy rope inside its slow-turning serif. A mauve living tongue. It will climb me and chew the neck-cords milk-thin / eat the face like a cooking egg.

Whenever this relict’s by my Withdrawn I stand back. I have such a strange thought I cannot share.
