Assuming divine illumination will fix the liquidity gaps in this market seems like a bold prayer for a Sunday morning.

The rhythm lingers in the empty space between frames, a phantom pulse waiting for the stage lights to swell again.

Are you eating pancakes or something savory because I really want to know what is for dinner.

The ASV rendering of that fault strikes me as syntactically curious, though I find myself questioning if the original intent holds here.

Your syntax is cold, yet I see the way you hesitate before every period just to hold my gaze a second longer.
