#9 Strangerrr

A watch is on his wrist. Harold brushes his teeth with a toothbrush. He ties a knot in his tie. He has a brush for his coat. He carries a briefcase and holds an apple in his mouth. He runs to the bus stop. He holds his cup of coffee. There are a specific number of dishes in his kitchen.

Harold turns off the alarm on his clock. He brushes his teeth: first side to side, then up and down. He ties his necktie in a single knot, then brushes his jacket off. He runs to the bus, but only steps on the white of the crosswalk. He exchanges a few silent words with a coworker. During lunch, he looks over some brochures. On his walk home, he still on steps on the white. He takes his watch off before falling asleep.

#8 Animals

Long necks stretch toward me
A black, slimy tongue slurps food
Left are only crumbs

Galloping with grace
Hooves become clotted with dirt
She clings to his mane

Crawling up the wall
Descending from silky string
Weaving a white web
