midst



buxom lasses
almost as antiquated as their model
and
at the schoolhouse and strolled idly

about the eaves an rows of
stupendous brass
buttons and their

lighthearted laughter mingling

with the motherly
teapot sending up
its
clouds of
vapor from the
midst

heaven bless the mark

i want
breath and time to discuss this
banquet as it deserves and am
too eager to get on with
my story
