Custodians of a Fractious Country
Sarah Mangold
They are depicted with great scientific suit sleeves
A single faculty, dandelion, don’t get him started
She’s on pasting chunks of text, sewing collars from the wool of country life
Repeated tones: white bread letters accents
philosophical hedgehogs
But for Spencer evolution was going somewhere
His requests to see the surface tailored but unobtrusive opened my jars rubbed my neck
Riots erupt
The improbably handsome
A welcomed guest
Insincerity in a culture brings to mind the most mysterious numbers
Three volumes of German-language units to say: (blanche your beans, then ice them)
Her parcels supplement mules with shows of sincerity still in combat
You nervous this one is dancing Be a woman
He saw American movies fell for them
You’re not striving to think of Darwin but he’s thrown in
My stomach was pages and gaiety did not come easily to him
