The fence falls over, wind rattles the house
Baking bread and the oven door groans
Don’t worry little dog, it’s just the entropy blues

Walking in a light rain
The word “cauterize” hits me
As in “cauterize” the poetry feet

Why does ether love morphine?

Just the entropy blues
Good morning how are you?
