using the tree technique:

this is the drumming machine
this is the kow-how book
this is the new, blue milk

I am the friend of the bath-taker.

I control the sun using magnets.



the earth and the new earth

the worm defends the eggs
(this is lantern talk)

the ghee and the clack-clack
the frontal neighbor

toast in the sink
trash in the lake
lightning on the ice
