Hello little map, You stamp. A reminder of that time newspaper got stuck, in the same destination and we ripped it off, At bandaid speed, Teething marks of an Irish wolfhound ornate your corners You bend and dip into holes where three-year-old glitter resides or an accidental splash of claims-to-be-washable paint.
