Miranda: What happened?
Mrs. Doubtfire: He was quite fond of the drink.

Mrs. Doubtfire: ‘Twas the drink that killed him.

that’s going about it
all the wrong way

a carlight glimmers in the mush

reflection of a windmill
            spinning very fast
in non-traditional shape of modern building’s window
