Preoccupied with that Revelation

The old trees in the orchard are in flower, white and pink

is what we promise, and that's what the client gets.

He’s a creature more like myself: alien and apprehensive.

It seems we have some business to attend to.

He was always putting in things that were impossible

to keep you waiting. I think a toast is in order,

surrounded by an aura of potential verbal danger, and

pigs don't eat it, because they don't know how.

There are fountains up and down this roadway now;

you'd have cleared out of here by now, too.
