Always I overhear the overbearing neighbors fail to wince where I would fall back on my store of tiptoe. Radical displays of lariats and stem cells in the embassy. Integers and tatting and roan haste. The high school annual is in the basement where the husbands are. Apprentices look wary and why not? Whoever shames her twin shall splinter mirrors showing twelve long stems. Rulers leak intervals when no one looks. Continuo means too much work. The breast stroke glistens in chlorine. A tacit plastic sheeting along pool top. To smother telltale plots. The livestock populate each story while the new monks pray.

Desolations, sample size, the rose lined avenue at dusk.
