"XLVII"

Hour of obscurity discharges a chatter above the miserly ripened broadcast. Paid only in Gossip demonstrations to override furnace swell hospitality, This notification of pending whiteout summons a dispatch. Lasts on the pike await emigration. Icy moisture forces an entry and the door cracks. Opaque colorless envelope. A stucco partition of cold. -Far-flung from protective edifice. A decided best to descend unaccompanied, escorted only by affiliates of the daily patrol to native safety. Open back black window related to depart from freezer’s exposed boiling head supports. At least the rain will wash heat and floating smog. As I lay on my back inspecting paved promoted condition, the delirious yearn for an immediate amend of stage. an entire trip transition budged with feeble swiftness as unbearable drudge of the tread helm drenched all reverberation, an available unhindered wearing of thick wool sweaters, sweating liberally. All the people melt to malls, movie theater complexes and cleaved tarpaulin apertures to aid advancement of the bleak load to nowhere. How do they navigate this vehicle?
