room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand --
and any given cause,
no matter how unrelated:

or a blizzard in Omaha ...
can serve as your undoing.

kitchen floor, your girl will enter

She was hugely feminine, boldly ambitious, and hilariously violent when she didn't get way, whether it was in work, love, or life.
