Analysis of Family Of Strangers
They share little in common beyond a former roof.
Does it require a shaman
to recognize this spoof?
They share little in common beyond a former time.
Does it require a shaman
to recognize this crime?
They share little in common beyond a former name.
Does it require a shaman
to recognize this shame?
They share little in common beyond a former school.
Does it require a shaman
to recognize this rule?
They share little in common beyond a former joy.
Does it require a shaman
to recognize this ploy?
They share little in common beyond a former link.
Does it require a shaman
to recognize this jink?
