I could attempt to break down the technique in order to further recall and detail the memory and anomaly, but becoming cognizant of the natural is the course for losing the nature of the act. My father taught me that. Just his voice.

I took the book to the couch like a man. I held the couch and left the lights and the connotations on.

I used to be the grandson of mailmen who liked quiche, but now I am the grandson of lumberjacks who prefer frittata. My mailman puts something where my grandma’s hand is and my lumberjack puts something where my grandma’s mouth is. They call my grandma the bus driver.
