A Family of Idioms

Why don't I start at the beginning, with the first entry? No, I'm

a small-time actress from Bradford who came East with a

bracelet on her arm; she had asked for the loan of it

still open to the beauty of the world, even though you

blew up the photographs and there they were: two gallantry,

carrying maps and consulting them at windy corners, could

brush off this layer of our world in a million years and string off

no way of making certain because the spines were unmarked

that angered him, and he meant to save her. An easy way

to look for reliquaries of my father, at the foolishness of the

few pieces there were and introduced something pretty close,

would say I was old, and I just want always to be a little

not defined at all or, perhaps worse, not adequately understood.
