Ribbon burn-line.
Richness dips past mid-point.

Some pin-hole tunnel threats.
Threatens at throaty here 'n' there.
No transition. Lack complexity.
No transition. Lack complexity.
THE KIBBITZ
Chile Mocha Latte stirred with a leather spoon and drunk from a earthen mug? Zero calories? Yes, please. Very straight-forward delivery. Smooth 'nuff considering its muscle. Stays cool to a firm nub. Surprising lil fella.
