dancer because trees or traces when fresh or flesh although being or benign where night
or begin. Skeleton selection barely but bravely for a stand-up curmudgeon: ‘warpers’ in a

A diary without dates might not want dimension although uniform as cuneiform and
precipitous as precious by definition.

‘Substance, or confusion,’ said Dichotomedes, ‘still itself.’

So much for waterfalls sketched from the life or imagined.
Poetry when jumping the firewall rhymes.
A longueur’s any lounger’s pitfall.
