Scuse me while I kiss the sky.

  • Scuse me while I kiss the sky.
  • Those words had travelled generations down my ouranophilic family line. We were born to fly. Our feet just didn't feel comfortable on solid ground.

  • about the heat. From then on, humans look up to chickens as role models, and every night, one parent somewhere starts his bedside story like this: "Once there was a chicken..."
