Wonderful seedless lemons are free

The lawn is cut and the bees all panic, that is to say, it is a perfectly normal morning. And in the afternoon, the swans float and snort in still waters. And when night falls, the crickets come, hollering as always, as always, as always — a quiet trash fire in the ruins of Londinium, a broxy stew for sale on the corner of Broadway and 49th, a toothache.
