Hopped up onto the chair and surveyed the crowd. Fell down out of the opera box, more embarrassed than hurt. Lay sideways in the backseat, trying to escape into sleep. Crouched inside the dumbwaiter, awaiting his opportunity.Lurking outside the playground, full of unpleasant hopes. Pacing under the bridge, nervously waiting for trolls. Dancing over her grave, again and again and again. Firing through the door, hitting the sofa inside.Swiming around the monument, looking for a secret passage. Leaning against the window, trying to keep his guts in. Standing on the piano, stomping to get the notes out. Talking down the crawlspace, trying to keep their spirits up. Running up the mountain, breathing like a monk. Jumping over the cones, hoping to pass his walker's test. Looking through the knothole, finding the demolition tiresome. Sweeping under the mammoth, wondering where the dust comes from. Flying into the secret base, setting the bomb to go off. Going down to the store, counting the change to buy milk with. Moving without stopping, hoping to find infinity. Sneaking out of the church, trying to keep the smell in. Kissing through the keyhole, tongueing the tumblers maniacally. Hopping onto the chair, surveying the crowd dully.
