45*21

sometimes it's all in the sentences
we are delivered and received
corrected by examples and deceived
given to the end by past tenses
I mulled around at the antique center
couldn't find anything to my liking
so off we went into the woods to go hiking
there was a large sign that said enter
it was so deep in these dense woods
you would wonder why it was there
The moisture dampened your hair
They wondered where in this place were the goods
The map was so crumbly it was hard to read
It had lightly scribbled words at one margin
written in some kind of ancient pirate jargon
The abundant plants had all gone to seed
The children grew tired and we put them down for a nap
Some grown ups got together to have an orgy
One lady said, "Oh shut up, Georgie Porgie."
Their tongues way deep into the sap
It felt like a day had passed
