Read Aloud

"Franklin. Hair carrot and brass. Irides seagreen, pupils hyacinth. Pathfinder brogans, collapsed socks. Lots of practical irony and cautious reticence, the hippety-hop who invented electricity. Love me some geography, he says to the mush bowl, because a map is a jigsaw puzzle. What I like is where the driblet island make a trail at the south poke of things, left behind, all on a drift to the west. And to teh north, crumbly islands. Love islands."
