Splitting open all the flesh on our fingers we hope the subtle pain no longer lingers, and the magnets on two sides of the tree come together in the middle cutting it down. Good swimmers drown in the rough waters of indecision. Paranoid about the stray cats that balance on the railing attached to the […]
