rush to which
in music I’ve space ready in May
percussion getting unasked choice
too car too truck beyond wishes
everyone cannot have the keys of nicety
repercussion bit scrap of that roll broom
pattern of bits
to see world sand dollars in one language
space fills thought
hopper the hours of the block
bang to the real plain warp
it is easy to ask from rush hour like useful telephone
calls simultaneously around our heads
untouched by seldom thought
rubble gallop red path on the real part
remove is unsuccessful as follow turns
after the sliver bin bench
combination finds
ment middle blade coast
similar and acquaint them which wonder
many kinds of stuff in the concerns of life
skin the plate
till all the moisture be very clean if
very short
the care of a particular person is fit
holidays come on a Monday and will frequently go
away
on the tramp of which are placed ballads
cribed cloths to scribble it
Thursday per week
spinning children sented to the reducing
of silk
wheel to her work rather runs backwards
and forwards
both methods are a long stick and round by an empty one
I shall describe or fixed on draws out
the hand is in the basket
potatoes are in the bag from the sufficient
empty one
wool thod
hank on cows
whirling any other earn be very white
from mit worms this shell-fish this spinning please
fection made worms semble
but that bow lever the window
curtain to warm you
dream pin or on so many others
emergency say bottom snow
fill up of and sentimental tickle
look foolish and know my prima golden weary
suitable for a mental might
of sentimental weep for into more
tickle little confess
the more regretted cozy paradise
the nature of my thirty-seven of whom
my own astonished sequel
