Attractive shadows on the wall

Lindokuhle Langa 1995 (gauteng)



Vibrant authentic terrors.
eccentric dreams of true good feel be dancing purely without fantasy irrational error...
and pre-posted human era.
walls within us by far motion pictures dialectically,
an easy state of movement grotesque in motion of a body
through mind imaginations.
nice unknown features of a new fantastic appearance on the move...
a state of mean mood excitement made fabulous on groove,
strange purpose of a legal tender.
somehow a man on the moon reading a newsletter.
