apologize about quality of cigarette – does not need light
granite rock pile no clear purpose but to gawk at
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven who knows what comes next
driver listens intently that he can’t clarify only intrigues more
didn’t start the fire… toasted mallows obviously happy days
