I.

The grandfather dies. The dog also.
The sun sets in the west. Turquoise
is a good color to name. Something
that ebbs is likened to something
that never ebbs. It is raining.


II.

The speaker’s grandfather was a master
carpenter. The things he made are scattered
around the speaker’s family. The speaker
expects his future spouse to help him steal
these to put in their future house.

III.

The important part is the speaker
still uses his dog’s name as the answer
to security questions on the internet.
In the situation of the speaker being in a life
and death struggle with an evil
clone of himself, you hold
the gun and don’t know which
to shoot. Ask the dog’s name.
If you want to live, know the answer.
