MERE WASHINGS
Mere washings will eventually be real cleansings. Soon the entire ambience may seem at least approximately ready for some serious kind of inspection. A truly optimal method might involve going from top to bottom; the ideal result would shimmer and shine.
Mere washings needn't be very full ablutions. In the summations that rule all universes are bound to remain large amounts of filth. What quickly might be accomplished should be enough improvement to grab our attention and seem to have sent an entirely complete dozen roses.
Whichever day of whichever week and month might grab all the underpinnings of rich verisimilitude, you or I might kneel or grovel. In that very process might be ample adoration and adequate humility. Taken aggregately the world would seem to prosper hugely.
Dogs, cats, and countless rats may enjoy the prospect of certain minimizings. Those minimizings would move many aspects toward real appreciation. Any and all appreciation would redirect itself. As the merest of washings seem likely they soon also might alienate and upset many worlds and creatures. Our dog, for example, has seemed phobic toward a very turned on specimen of coiled garden hose.
The word "coiled" seems to summon up assorted cycles of history. History may be a series of sweet snakes each of which stays eager. That eagerness long has tilted toward gross undoings. Those undoings seem to mirror much of the detritus encouraged by ordinary ablutions. Sitting or standing in concert with wind and rain, we might sense that this could be yet another propitious year. Eager for glory or forgiveness, we might proceed.

One would have to say that this is a very clean story, Bruce.

Dear **Eunice**: I cleanse all my tellings,
though (still!) those exhibit strange smellings.
The very next stench
I'll park on a bench
and ask not to revel in swellings.

Dear **Jo**: I may soon do just THAT,
and then every moment (though flat)
should surely exhibit
few styles that inhibit
prime concepts of mouse or of rat.

Dear **David**: I ##clean## may forget
my duty toward nonstop regret.
I surely should function
with just enough unction
to pay every National Debt.
