Jim, Please hear me. You are a rarefied beauty. I am baffled by it. Second score, duty. Some of the most beautiful people are the most sensitive instruments. The lonely they are, as people react to the faraway, to look at it, is the painful eye of the star. That way. And when you were…

Delighted, delightful, on delivery day! As easy a connection from what has come what may! Our imaginations match with an even brighter today!

—for Joseph   One day I woke up on a Sunday And got dressed and ready for school. They took me to church instead And I felt like a fool!   The next week I woke up on A Saturday ready for class. Cartoons and pancakes were on And I collapsed and passed gas!  …
