justwrite 20 april

now I’m in the business of expanding and contracting retracting countable nouns and clowning around with the frowns unmeasurable the treasures I have buried deep like teeth wondering what will grow and I show my ignorance in this question it’s a lesson I wasn’t taught but now l learn that if baby teeth aren’t buried no matter whether or not there’s a fairy and in this case it’s a mouse and not a toothmouse but just a mouse with an interest in mouths well anyway if this doesn’t happen then the big teeth won’t grow and this shows what we know with our western-style fairies wearing cowboy boots and spurs to grow you right up and give you some money in exchange you’re older now but it’s not so bad look here’s a quarter! there are rewards built in to keep us swimming but the sinking links quite easily through alliteration and our fascination with language dangles us out the door and what’s more we wonder what’s the rumpus and among us are phrases we’re trying to phase out such as capitalized surprise and the apparent laughter associated with texts of teenaged girls where teenage girls is also an appropriate usage and as for the grammar we stammer out faithfully we can’t fully see where we’re going what we’re showing is more than enough to bluff this listener this viewer see-througher and I have not yet planted the uncoiled spiders the helicopter airplane parachute long green legs out of the forest and into the glorious upside-down plastic fantastic art piece soon to be released to an admiring public and won’t we all say it’s earth day won’t we all play our parts and rehearse the next scene while waiting what’s to be done and who’s to be seen and in between where the time goes and the colors glaze or fade or blaze
