The Harrowing Quartet


or Four Days To Wedding

Ruck’s grandmother is coming and not, has
checked all the entrees. Gramps not around
to help, having gone to Heaven for the quiet.

Stephanie can't handle one more thing,
and is lying down.

A secret network works to get him to the
Eagles game tonight, but even supine, Steph's
radar clanks away.

"Don't you even THINK about...!"

"A linguistic pattern I'm getting used to,"
Ruck informs Clancy, the Irish Setter.
"Verb smashed hard, and the thought thus
can be left unfinished.”

Clancy's soupy eyes sympathize.

(Not to get too rhymey-dimey within the
whole hysterical smear.)

Ruck’s breaths keep snagging. “What’s a
Panic Attack?” he asks Clancy.
