posteriority
Butt cheek! / Butt cheek! / my daughter proclaims / to the world
fraternal
The floor is paved with wooden planks / rough and scratched / peeling, mismatched
laboratory
At six forty-six p.m. / they’re still laying great big chunks of granite / in the yard
compensate
I made something It’s nice but that’s not why I made it
