Youcan'Tgettherefromhere

you can't get there from here she said and turned the radar in her head she changed the angle of her chin she tugged her ear and tried again No,she shrugged you're just not there she smoothed the sonar in her hair her teeth produced a clicking sound I took my bags and walked around to find the place my friends would wait out there beside the garden gate though four of them agreed to come three were deaf and two were dumb the other one of them was I left alone but not to cry over by the carousel in the park, a wishing well bade me come and cast a dime wishing for a better time when I tossed my coin in you were there I found a friend asking if I had a dime to wish yourself a better time I said no but look at me I can grant your wish for free! I can't get there from here you said and turned the radar in your head your teeth produced a clicking sound I took my bags and walked around.
