Dream Song 115: Her properties like her of course and frisky and new

 Her properties, like her of course & frisky & new:
a stale cake sold to kids, a 7-foot weed
inside in the Great Neck night,
a record ('great'), her work all over as u-
sual rejected.
She odd in a bakery.
The owner stand beside her and she have to sell to the brother & sister jumping without say 'One week old.
' Her indifference to the fate of her manuscripts (which flash) to a old hand is truly somefing.
I guess: she'll take the National Book Award presently, with like flare & indifference.
A massive, unpremeditated, instantaneous transfer of solicitude from the thing to the creature Henry sometimes felt.
A state of chancy mind when facts stick out frequent was his, while that this shrugging girl, keen, do not quit, he knelt.
(Having so swiftly, and been by, let down.
)
