I’ve been reading and writing ____,
trying to work it out with the flock,
understand what it all means, but
here I find myself a few hours later,
starting over against the carpet,
removing my shoes before
sinking into the tub. It’s

having to lift ourselves
into the _____.

Let’s start over against the

into the tub and then,
no longer stanky,

all of the important
ingredients for the
most creative
______ of all.

Give him up
entirely! My
_____, which
is now
altogether
too _____.
