Miracle Issue 6
The Moonbeam Road -John W. Sexton wheels of fat adorn his birthday suit ... tusk tusk King Walrus sailed the sea in a bucket of sea saw the deepest ocean a squeal splits the moon … Grandma Wartkins jumps the sky in her pigskin shoes earwigs behold the Lego city ... from Heaven descends a cornflake trod the moonbeam road … comets trapped as paisleys on the gypsy's kerchief from the egg-fried rice a curling dragon of steam ... keep to your course rocking-horse! take me forwards and backwards to here now truly selfless ... she cut herself looking with the shaving mirror an age … the time it takes for time to take
