"I fish for
the housekeys
in yer bag,
it's late and
a hilarious sitcom
must be broadcasting
right now at this moment,
I have absolutely no urge to haste",
Gerard says to her, "it's alright, read a little Marx, if so recite me some of those flashy
advertisement signs on our way home."

"I have seemingly no problem then
to read and let no thought develop",
"I fish for the missing knitting needles
inside my bag, Jerry, did you take them out?"

"But right now we got bigger fish to fry,"

"like deja vu, double entendre, compulsive laughter, the same cassette stuck whirring",

"We could have stayed home, ya know!"

"like restless syndromes",

Gerard drives
home following
the car-cum-showroom,
while Joan forgets to bring
her wool with her.
