“He had fallen out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch.”
“David, do you think if I had just evacuated several litres of amniotic fluid under the table I wouldn't mention it?”
“I know what you're thinking.Girlfriend has fallen out of the stoopid tree and bonked her head against every branch on the way down.”
“I bought some batteries, but they weren’t included. So I had to buy them again.”
“A narrow pond would form in the orchard, water clear as air covering grass and black leaves and fallen branches, all around it black leaves and drenched grass and fallen branches, and on it, slight as an image in an eye, sky, clouds, trees, our hovering faces and our cold hands.”
