Nothing Is Known

Breathing. Breathing. Loop.
Indelible rainbow.
Alligators countless alligators.

Birds, flight, nonsensical patterns.
Miming the, the miming angels.
Deaf airflow visions.  Strenuous, riven, unique.

Absolutely. Absolutely.
Breathing, alone.  The indelible method.
Do not monitor lizards.
