sink traps without a catch the last grocery bags stacked up in a pile a laundry sack; scratched up for the automat the cats figure that you'll be gone for a while we could not block the arrows that poisoned your heart betrayed from the beginning, now too spoiled to trust we'd work on an ending, but where would we start?
