The art of forgetting.

The giver.

Total recall.

Text adherents.

Horse sense.

Memories are made into this.

No brain, some gain.

Fade away or here to stay?

We are Groot.

Institutional memory.

The claw chooses who will stay.

But it was all a dream.

Lucky seven.

Tomorrow dies.

Pay me what you owe me.

New look, same great taste.

A special tense.

You’ve got a friend in me.

Mall rat.
