Bad news, I was 
struck by the French property owner. You know,  
plagiarism done in loose quotes.  
It’s cold indirection (sangfroid),  
but my metabolism really took off, along  
with emotions from a huge songbook  
I’m freezing,  
 
‘quote’ Watching text spin like sentience  
refined by distance; since  
it’s none of the above ‘end quote.’ This could be for you now.
