Unveiling their shine on the cerulean sheet now pitch-dark,
radiant studs, rhombus-shaped, compete with the beauty
of bicephalous. When the orgulous are on a night out in
their best bib and tucker covering their kytes, the chill of
westering winds adds to the ambiance. The presence of
sapid puffs invites our olfactories to the divine, making
me muzzy, and moved: Even nature helps the well-heeled?
