He hears Grandma cackling like a tickled spider fern. He feels tight pantyhose. He smells hairspray that fixes his pigtails. He tastes the floor that he fell on as he ungracefully leaps into a door. Fish race against the current like leaves against the wind.

Finally, the water stops gliding and scarcely begins to turn around before it hits the waterfall. Turtles peeking up out of the water like German spies.

One house wakes up and opens its windows like eyes.
