Nothing to speak of

The Badlands

The Ballad of Basil

The boy tossed the news

The broad-leaved Arrow-head

The brown muskrat, noiseless

The cabin door flew open

The clothesline post is set

The death of my poor father

The elegant office girl

The eleventh of progressional

The evening's automobiles

The eye

The government men said Don't plant wheat

The graves

The land of four o'clocks is here

(The long/canoes)

The smooth black stone

The soil is poor

There was a bridge once that said I'm going

There's a better shine

They came at a pace

They live a cool distance

They've lost their leaves
