Grain could go down his throat.
Ears of corn, his large ears...
Rotten remembrances of sweet
Unction.  Orpheus did not look back.
Sarah did not have a child for one
Thousand years.  Eurydice was trapped
Grown old underneath the world.
Eurydice was a minor miner.
Rude computers began to grow
And take over the world.
Daring, dashing Jerad ran a straight course throwing aside,
Everything in his path...
Grown older now, the oldest man was her eventual destination.
Every man and woman would grow old, she would have to learn that.
Sarah had five children. 
Antoinette had seven but was married to a bigot who begat a spigot. 
Mary had three.
Polly had one.
They said that because they weren't interested.
Grown old, not maturing, the strangeness of things that keep for ages.
Exceptionally wrought the new inventions seem to cloud her understanding.
Rare flowers interacted with the machines which in turn grew them up prettier and prettier.
Slower and more drawn out, they liked her again and again,
The real world and the world of technology had gotten confused with cloned
Gruesome horrors.
Escape into this important paragraph,
Strangling her, the sentences began to float into the air.
Casting crews began to move the furniture around the room.
Hired only recently, Jessica's sleeping pills did improve her virus but
After a time she began to get bed sores
From lying down
Too long.
