The Allegorized Realities

Improvidence at work again. What kind of a chance is

the parental language that one way or another I've neglected?

If you have anything sensible to say, don't wait. Shout it out,

out through the screens at the night and the patches of light on the

real groovy teacher and his classes are very popular. The other

could assume an awful flaccidity, like an acrobat who has somehow

done a million things in these scary, private years. We drove the

worst kind of hypocrite. The truth of the matter is, they were

cleared soon in preparation for work on the recreational

lawn and along the flower beds and as I came around the

pots and pans came out of the playground and a

matchless calm thoughtfulness that it was impossible to

kiss and make up. I've been thinking, why don't you?
