Christopher Patton :: Glitch Apple

 

 



1.

The serpent was more subtotal than any beast of the field.
Crystal, Lord God had made.
Andy said into the woman,
Yeah, Scott said,
You shall not eat of every tree of the garden. 

2. 

The woman sitting, to the servant,
We made the fruit of the trees of the garden.

3. 

Footprint of the trade which is in the midst of the garden.
Ha ha, said, You shall not eat of it.
Neither shall you touch it.
Nasty diet.

4. 

Serve and surrender the One.
Lisa,—Shirley. 

5.

Oh God no! the day, para (b)—
And you shall be as gods knowing good.
Hey, beautiful. 

6. 

And when the woman saw the tree was good for food,
It was pleasant to harass the tree.
To be desired, to make onewise.
She took of the fruit thereof and delete.
And Dave also wants her husband
With her, and he
Didn't he

7. 

And the eyes of them both broken.
And then you,
That they were naked
Message to Greece together,
And maybe some paper. 

8. 

And they heard the voice of the Lord,
God walking in the garden and the cool of today.
And Adam and his wife killed themselves,
From the presence of the Lord God.

10. 

Andy said, The voice in the garden—
Hello!
Because I was thinking Monday, myself. 

11.

Lisa told David, That was Nathan, passed out.
Has to have eaten of the tree.
Wherever I commanded the—
That bow shoots tonight.
Eat. 

12.  

And the Man said, The woman who—
Hello!
Games to be with me.
She gave me of the tree, and I delete. 

13. 

And the Lord God said unto the woman.
What is this, that now has none?
And the woman said that
The server to be guy holds me, and I delete. 

14.

Chandler, God said on the server, Because asked.
Unless—no.
Are crystal bubble cattle?
And about her beast of the field
Upon thy belly shout,
Ago and dust shout
That out
Eat all the days of my life. 

15.

And I will put enmity between being the woman
And between the icy seed
And her seat.
If sugar is the head on Bruce’s hill. 

16.  

On to the woman.
He said, I will greatly multiply
By sorrow
And I, Concepción,
And sorrows are shopping for children,
And that desire shall be given husband,
And he shall rule over there. 

17. 

Send him down.
And He said, Because noticed heart content is the voice of our lives­.
If I wanted testing of the tree—
Before, check.
I commanded the single shot.
Night Chris does the ground that I say.
Insertion:
“Love you all the days of the night.” 

18.

Thorns also.
And fizzle.
Shallot.
Bring forth today—
Optic service of the field. 

19.

And this one as I finish.
Out that way, friend.
Onto the ground!!
Four out of that westbound taken for Dustin,
Now are on to dust shop. 

20.

And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

21.

Thank you out of my balls to his wife did.
The Lord God may cook skins and close them. 

22.

And the Lord God said,
Behold the madness
Become as one of us.
No, good, and you?
And now I’m us
To put forth His hand
And take also the dreamlife.
Andy can live forever. 

23.

Therefore the Lord God sent Him forth from the Garden of Eden till the ground frequency was taken.

24. 

So he drove out The Man
And he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden turbines,
The flaming sword which turned everywhere,
To keep the weight off
The tree of life.
