Snow is extinguished by water. An ellips may be diffened as the curve made by a bread roll chucked by one diner to another at the family diner. Linoleum covers the floor in Latin. When we sit on the edge of the bed we are convicts reflecting on our sentence. Children's balloons are carried along the street frightened to death.
Sundials show the hours with the dagger that kills.
In the dreams of the bald man there is no shade. There's a moment when the light flickers in our bulbs as though the power company had made a mistake when changing reels. In the train lavatory, we wash away the black crime of traveling. Only a candle can weep itself to death.
