probability vs. plot
1: the shortest story begins & ends with true love.

                                        2: the absence of love is not nothing.

                                                                     3: like that without
                                                                  punctuation a desire
                                                                           too dangerous
                                                                                     to touch.

4: there had been many Daughters but now we were down
to almost one.

                                5: because her fear that everyone will see
                 her shame is less than her fear that no one can see
                                         her at all. some part of her is always
                               
                                    elsewhere, exploiting her life for drama.

6: the dream is scratchy. warm. like brandy & a slow cigarette.
or a mind, trying to decompose herself.

7: perhaps she never had sex but she had teeth.
she had eaten meat. pure energy of earth, the rawest material.

                      8: on the other hand, the Daughter was a function
of herself, akin to heartache
or the green line time makes around the known universe.
