Piebald Pandora
Multi hued Glory
Sloth Shark face
Palomino woman bites us
and hangs with us
upside down at dawn
selling our souls to 4 legged
Majesty Lemurs on Madagascar….

Ironically there are 64 arrangements in DNA and 64 squares on the chessboard.

Who is on the other side of the screen?
A narcissistic shark that feeds remotely on a colony of brains and uses the appearance of a woman as a lure
