How are you to breathe in the water? Or in amidst the particulates, for that matter - in the must of a tomb, or home? Do you suck the scum from a swampy bog? How are you to cough these days? With one lung, or another? Let us write our fathers. A slight dusting of flour sifts the shelves. That’s all. Save the final few strands of a seven-generation sourdough starter. A sack of buns, for you. Has a manna feast a menu? Husks for the hog and corn for the lord. Make it rain! A joke, for you. Twelve apostates walk into a bar. A first says: “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” A second remarks: “Make hay while the sun shines.” A third nods and responds: “Rake the dark room.”
