it was a rough night. an east wind from the lake cooled us for a minute then the heat came back and a massive storm buster hit us from the west and dust was blowing and the chair was rocking like a crazy ghost story words flying and penny cried and ran for the closet. we had to batten the hatches and crank the fan but we fell asleep in time and woke with a coolness and sun again. in paradise in the city on earth spinning tales and voyaging in the infinitely expanding cosmos impossible to reckon, granted.
