But now in Spring, though yet again: The third was three in number. 

I sense a wince remind itself,
Of what it means to be,
Instead to beg for booked...

Have you been hearing voices again?

Still, yes.
No new ones, though,
since the Voice Against Death Investment.

Why can't you just
Squeak a little,

my custom is to have the plaintiff read
