Someone Unreasonably Desirable
Larger Chestnut Weevil
Inside chestnuts and chinquapins, a possibility may be growing that is not a tree. When the nut falls, it may leave and burrow into the ground to pupate. This happens chiefly in east- ern North America, where possibilities are 1) abundant in forests, 2) do not bite, and 3) can attack the trees that support them in disastrous numbers. If you believe this is political, you are mistaken.
One such possibility is elongate/oval, its beak very long, sometimes longer than the body. It’s dark brown, densely covered with golden or clay-yellow scale-like setae. It has darker stripes on the thorax. Its abdomen has brownish black spots with unknown purpose. We might refer to them as unfortunate tendencies. We might not.
Try using different types of facial tissues, paper towels, childish sugary confections, dispos- able diapers, raw sandwich scraps, napkins and exotic sponges to tempt the possibilities from the acceptance of their earthy home. Discover the erotic nature of these temptations before moving on to children.
Investigate how water arrives at its conclusions and what the earth has to say about it. Ask yourself if you’ve heard any of these lies before. Do not take yourself for granted. Which lie wipes up your own mistakes the quickest?
You might think you have gotten off the subject. You might think you aren’t the subject.
Inside the subject, you are dancing, which is sometimes referred to as birthing and is not political. When you are finished with yourself, you will sleep and grow taller. You will study the variations in your appendages, which appear much more similar to others. You will not engage in phlegmatic rants as useful as tipped spittoons. You will listen. You will whisper. You will fall.
