Some times the worst not so bad A theory of relativity  How do you know some things? She looked like she had been in Arizona Her cats were like dogs A grand assemblage of many things I had not seen you since Thanksgiving Good to know where you are I already knew There are many people in the building From an infinite possibility We observe fewer I walk down the sunny street even under clouds She under dark skies even when the sun shines We save each other's lives
