Simple Theories

Present wind, forming a basis for confluence, in learned sparkle. Such sunlight evading shadow. Evening dreams portray only a low burden, kindling next to next fire. Morning days return as new days. Night fractures each figure. Dark as different concludes with a springtime sorting. Brusque buds then if oily the burst. Training in mentation on the way to the ballpark. Sudden comes suddenly.

Near Concord, great, they meet and enter the Concord River, that spans the time of saving. This is what the dream is, even in the wars. Concord too becomes tributary, in what we now call Lowell.
