84

Why is this date stamp different from all other date stamps? Did he say charming feeling or German failing? My ez-pass broke the windshield. I never think of the hood as a bonnet. I never associate farts with petroleum. Pure as gravy. Improvise some freemasonry for me, Tolstoy. It's beginning to feel a lot like Kwanzaa. A disease of the throat. A series of implosions. The golf is their bread-and-butter number. Some ginger ale would knock out this ravenous feeling. Volkswagen stories. How can I transfer my past to that school, I want to smile warmly at my alumni magazine too! Idealized discourse, three for a dollar. And the stars were shining. Now we have something to drop! An axle, I mean. I have two so here's six dollars. The great grey bridge holding perfectly still in the equinox light. Los Gigantes ganan. I blame baseball cards for my love of names and statistics. What did I pour all this excitement across? Thousands of baseball cards, sorted by team, by year, by... whose card did I have nineteen of? I want to say Ollie Bejma, but he's a punchline from Peanuts. Could it be Dusty Baker? Not a chance it was Bake McBride. The scent of cantaloupe fills the subway car, without a clear reason why.
