You asked me, what's astigmatism? I told you it's when you cry blood.
            Come over, you said, we're making sandwiches. I said I'd come only

for hamburgers and only if the number of meat slabs equaled
            the number of bun halves, squared. Let's fractionate our address,

build a shack between the porch and sidewalk then call our apartment
            the half. Let me finish my book.               I'm not stopping you.

I'm not eating that.               I didn't say you were. Let's encode our love notes
            in Keno cards. Let's skirt the upper limits of the room.

Look at the laquearia, you said.                           That's not a laquearia.
            Then it's a loggia.                                                           No, it's a wall.
