The question
paper or plastic?
Is better in reference to
back massages.

Go paper on the crevice
next to the canned tomatoes.
I would like my receipt
to use knuckles.

make my unsalted butter
more distinct than
her TV dinners and frozen kale.

for dinner? Perhaps
this shirt has too many stains to wear
in a salad.
I could have gotten a cart
but instead I thought my elbows
were crook enough for
a weekend.
