Nearly Eternal Fusion Reactor

By Miles Solstice

Something burning or maybe already burnt

A cataract climbs a triage

How many bushels in an apple?

English is the language I inherited

I read the phrase “good breeding” repeatedly

We assume our own preferences live in the hearts of others

Will we all know that guy’s name next year?

Why’d you get that song stuck in my head?

Illegal seagulls

Every restaurant is dirtier than you think

The table of contents is the story

Mastery of anything begins with an attempt

The spellcheck dictionary may be the most commonly used dictionary in the world

Hawaii is not part of North America

Tip-toe over the topiary

Write a commercial jingle in dactylic tetrameter

A tree hugging another tree

100% natural
