Ex-Wives

We never went by the harbor so quickly.
I wasn’t there during the crash.
What if we told our parents?
Something is laughing in the basement.
That’s the problem with lingering diseases.
Will you become the big deal?
Foraging for apples occurs in the winter.
Please let the surgeon get out of the way.
Sometimes you bore me.
I can't write stories.
The sun will never melt the Earth.
The science of paper weighs greatly on your mind.
Will the sinister image of our reflection undermine our once valiant voyage?
How is the canyon holding up under these conditions?

The starter belt is clinking against a a device engineered by a known enemy of Planetary
Supply Systems, and the manufacturer is married to your ex-wife.

Well, Jesus, Bill…did you have to bring up my ex-wife?
