I have delivered the "rough" first half of the Blunderland sequel unto "Fearless Reader," (Thanks, Trish) and will be making a decision soon regarding the serial posting of chapters here. From A Loop Around The Sun, in the meantime ....

Glass

The room, the time, what I have on,

Verbs and objects, grinding, hissing,

My underwater lexicon.

Puns, intended. Truth? Omitted.

Asleep, awake, checkpoint, way-station,

Silver.  Glass. 

Measured, 

Well fitted.
