from The Welt of the Wrangle - A Winter Forecast
56 - CALYPSO & FORESIGHT
Various affirmations hum nicely now and make you
believe that things will go well with your wing-
dings. But in the reality factory, the time-clock
bids you to fish farm your afflictions and to tackle
extracurricular tumors. Examine those maturities that
aren’t working out.
60 - HYBRID FEMALE
Through a careless renaissance with the wrong
workman, you find yourself on a skewer, belittled by
the insult, “hybrid female.” If you react like an
injured mammal by demonstrating your appendage, you
will become suddenly pale. Calm yourself until the
mole discovers the sequel.
65 - SENSITIVITY
On your continent, you will support the oasis and
take on a more emotional toothpowder by communicating
your passwords to colonialists. Take the time to
relish all invalid liberations. Then hand-wash both
the nylons and the nymphomaniacs.
67 - A BONFIRE OF BONNETS
Consciously let go of old wrinkles by wearing a
turtleneck and thigh-highs and holding some kind of
splotch baby who will generate a spasm toward the
restoration of the hummingbird. Only then can you
broaden your hospital and see what’s wrong with the
wrangle.
69 - THE LAST ASHTRAY
A trivial incubator vexes you simply because it is
the “last ashtray.” As a result, you pulverize your
doormat. In fact, you will become so choleric that
you don’t notice your own bellboy is tangoing the
fandango.
71 - THE WRECK AS IT IS
Balance your medications today, and commandeer a
beautiful monocle. Only then will you be able to
reach for the unreachable goblet.
