i walk between two squirrels

one ran onto a porch of a house

while the one who had been chasing the other one
in circles

froze in the road and stared at me

i was a little afraid and felt a little something

i can't describe

i have owned several grammar books over the years. though i don't usually remember them, a lot of the lessons and rules in them make sense to me. my writing style can be influence more by grammar lessons. The Deluxe Transitive Vampire is my favorite grammar book, mainly because of its sentence style. after reading sentences from that book, i usually want to write derivative sentences. sometimes i carry it to and from work, along with other books, without opening it. other times i have carried it to and from work and have opened it. with no set goals in mind, oftentimes i open it while in my apartment, laying on my bed. oftentimes i do simple things that i feel are supplemental to my life. regardless of emotional implications, i feel i have adopted a sentence style that is positive.
