it’s very important to recycle on the/a Hudson to a “beat” - Jenna Lackey

The central

circular glass

belonged to Henry

as he had made it years ago on an assignment

critical

to his future degree in glass and metal

and his mental wellbeing, being it was for Jennifer

and a grade. While he couldn’t defeat

the succubus that guarded Jennifer’s heart to get its key

the paper

he wrote made his work an A and the badly built glass went to Kate

who ran at a different tempo

than Jennifer. It was one more of a humming vital

than the fast plastic

pace at which Jennifer ran. Henry later gave Kate a sparkly rock

and many slimy children and they lived a life together tired.
