Narragansett Narragansett
The complete sentence narrates a satisfying process. It closes and opens like a clam. I take a knife to the sentence and start my evening at the raw bar. It is hard work, and the sentences would prefer to be in the ocean. I would rather be a patron of this establishment. Someone over my shoulder Would rather know I am going to continue to put up with his stuff. It is not a wide receiver, his stuff. It is his development, Which is gradual. It involves testing me. Sometimes These tests take the form of imperatives. Drive onto the boat! The boat would rather be en route to Maine. It is an ambitious ferry. My knife wishes to whittle patterns Into the enormous picnic table. Art does not narrate.
