He walked in wearing a ten gallon. Nobody looked up except her drowning in the view. Sleek stitched boots, the 45 caliber open carry pea shooter; an anachronism for the scorched West, the rain challenged South, the sophisticated East Coast wind events, the frozen inconsequential North. In his eyes, long verses about a big bird falling to the deck, trips to plays, braided memories, and cow hide sofas. Suspicious legal Writs showed up, the ink still wet. The chase is made of paper, the Hound is flame-scarred, and there is no crow feast except a few left over stale lime flavored munchies. The gloves are black leather, a nice touch. GQ would be proud. Tartan plaid shirt killed the whole Deep Yank theme. The Motion Picture Academy claimed the Rolex was the tip-off.

This is How
Books start. Short excavations, mining for characters - at life's end, so many books begun, novels eat lifetime. ex. Mississippi Joe. A hoot! Thanks for reading my work. It is appreciation personified. :D

No need to slow down or truncate, at least not in my opinion. : )
I was honestly waiting till you were at least a couple of parts in before reading, figuring I could sit with it grouped together and read.
I am currently
Rewritting-editng the 1st of the three chapters of The Khansmen that were published in a lit journal over 20 years ago. Painfully arduous. Wedding guest - Time to re-read Rime of the Ancient Mariner. If Biden stops faux pa-ing, I may have time to finishh last episode (S). Really fun to work on.
:D

I have my students read Rime of the Ancient Mariner as a gateway to longform poetry and prose, once they are ready.
Hold no breathe for Biden, keep at it. This is a wonderful work : )
