My first sick baby (collecting a bunch of sicker near babies). Every one knows the eldest and first gets the most love. Just ask Everly "Golden Child" Brown.

Awesome. I think this one hit a lot harder than Paranoia in a Heated Mole Suit, but both were very cool. All sorts of different takes on weird, surrealist-ish poetry and prose.
