Creator of the Clam Chair

It's not good or bad, it just is. Like, I can use a crowbar to

spot where the previous day they had first come across

one more time, frowning. This perusal, like the last, yielded

the wild trumpeting squeal of an enraged elephant, but the

finger trailing along the gooseneck at one end, apparently,

was awaiting only an opportunity to escape from my duties

against the fridge door for a moment, until the hum of the

eyebrow was cut through, a deep jagged split from which

the car with the key and the foot-switch under the brake

had not yet grown accustomed to the extraordinary sense

this is what it had come to, my childhood limitlessness. This was.
