Always



Always always, always never.
Always this, always that.
Always new, always old.
Always the Country Club, always the junkyard.
Always safety, always proceed with caution
Always up, always down.
Always slim, always fat.
Always clean, always grimy.
Always Jesus, always Judas.
Always the friend, always the enemy.
Always Genesis, always Revelation.
Always brilliance, always stupidity.
Always sensitive, always a sissy.
Always beautiful, always needs a nose job.
Always awake, always eyes wide shut.
Always peace, always war.
Always what you think I am.
Always who I am.
Always me.
