Deserts

Sweat fire

Thermometer glowing
Like an arc welder’s bead

Rack ‘em up, and
Break one hundred

Fifteen 8 balls on the table

Ninety-nine bottles of
Fahrenheit on the wall,
Thirty-seven bottles of Celsius
If none of that mercury
Should happen to fall,
Doom and extinction,
Us, will befall

Nuclear fusion in the skull

[Crawls into a cave and collapses.]

Kevin Trent Boswell is a thing that once blinked briefly in and out of existence. It made noises and gestures while it lasted. The exact nature of its demise is unclear. Some sources say it collapsed beneath the weight of entropy and time. Other tertiary evidence suggests the possibility that it was destroyed by a predator, an accident, or perhaps even by itself. The truth of the matter is unknown. Luckily, no one cares.
