'Come buy, come buy'

How easy is it to get to three thousand five hundred words while debating about why the soft gummy pretzel that comes with potato leek soup is better more nutritious than the penn state sea salted pretzels how easy is it to taste words that answer you why hot coffee makes you sleepy but thank redbull for toothpicking your eyelid with a feather but you don't want shaky bingo wings have a nut have a raisin it will keep wakeful redskin autumn stuck in your teeth while you talk to another friendly curl and a worried blue eyed red both he and she too weak to pull two all nighters are unhealthy but we're all in this together so maybe we can do it answer in a slubber why the fizzy coke flavoured football chews in maomai mix you share together does not fizzjuice longer than the juicy lime chew things of the spirit i ate and ate my fill yet my mouth waters still you cannot think what figs my teeth have met in what melons icy-cold piled on a dish of gold too huge for me to behold she sucked and sucked and sucked the more fruits which were unknown orchard bore she sucked until her lips were sore then flung the emptied rinds away but gathered up one kernel stone and knew not was it night or day as she turned home alone but sad eyes admire faithful sacrifice in that white and golden lizzie that stood like a lily in a flood like a beacon left alone in a hoary roaring sea sending up a golden fire like a fruit crowned orange tree white with blossoms honey sweet sore beset by wasp and beelike a royal virgin town topped with gilded dome and spire close beleagured by a fleet mad to tug her standard down.
an inward laughter.

'for there is no friend like a sister
in calm or stormy weather;
to cheer one on a tedious way,
to fetch one if one goes astray,
to lift one if one totters down,
to strengthen whilst one stands.'

I wish Rossetti would have told me all of this earlier, sister.
My tongue in eye is kinda dry.
