...Socks on the line hang straight .down, stiff, the hardness of the water in them, the water that tastes like rock...
...The government corn stands in silos so full tugging one open corn gushes to the ground, a pool of orange teeth...
...The horse eats them, not grateful, not ungrateful, huge crunching chomps like feet on gravel...
