carrying across some outlandish words for fun learning that "tulip" and "turban" come from "cheesecloth" praising the ice nowadays for that cool hardness laying out the groundwork for all of the outlets giving away old books that we no longer read keeping in mind to take heed of our old holdings handing out and selling off more of our spare stuff letting anyone take the things that take up room thinking twice about going to the southern lands writing these lines while waiting in line for things setting up the first new reckoner in five years having lots to do without having to go out having restful days after a week of hacking peeking into the networks and seeing no one taking a year and still more to end the fighting sharing meaningful stuff and getting no answer hoping always that things will become more well-kept watching time get eaten away by happenings taking heed in the dry wit of "one-liners day" hunting for happiness on a week like this one wanting you to take time to see the time we take having much less angst nowadays as a shut-in making the mistake of not getting enough sleep waking up and nodding off into a dreamland staying in the loop with the flood of happenings patching up the fingery writs of the networks timing this for high noon when the fat old sun shines taking forever to write this short string of words ghosting around in the murky night after drinks having a thing for waking up before the dawn writing this a week ago to keep the timing riming up: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight riming down: eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one hearing songs from the eighties while tapping on keys holding the gold for now and then dumping it quick shoving the fingered writ up to the old *** hub making a call not to go to the southern lands wanting more to stay in the homeland for this year undoing past setbacks and getting myself up seeing how no one learned from a few years ago noting this day to set out for a later trip fleeing from the rush of the days and weeks and months hearing the brisk cold wind howl with its lust for might seeing light sticks rise from films of up-helly-aa! putting together small bricks that can melt by fire hearing someone speak in a way no one else can carving out some words in the snow for this cold week raising the heat some more while winter tries to win turning off all the needless tidings that make wrath finding some everyday things to be lost in time making bucks with the new rise in the worth of gold wondering from which far land the word "puzzle" comes telling myself to bear down and hone in on it feeling less steadfast about things now than before drawing bad green deer on "draw a bad green deer" day dragging the dead horse down the highways of the web welcoming you to "hell is freezing over day" backing many things up today on "backwards day" wondering what happened to the warmer winters grasping the end of the month as it dwindles fast
