Another cummingese piece. This one is a little hard to decipher. Two sides of one relationship.

With their necks and hair and noses
fancy chairs
           hams hips, laughs.
Voices sque-

a sudden movement
rushing, racing sand
smashing
crashing
peppering the audience

-aghast

shocking,

tragedy.

It was so pretty too.

With their necks and hair and noses
fancy chairs
          hams hips, less laughter
Voices still squeaking

They walk out doors and into cars
and back into reality.
A snapshot of a moment. Every get together has that one clumsy guest.

the tonic-s(hit)-stained-s.***-hole

Trying my hand at an e.e. cummings sort of style.
