A Mown Lawn
She hated a mown lawn. Maybe that was because mow was the reverse of wom, the beginning of the name of what she was--a woman. A mown lawn had a sad sound to it, like a long moan. From her, a mown lawn made a long moan. Lawn had some of the letters of man, though the reverse of man would be Nam, a bad war. A raw war. Lawn also contained the letters of law. In fact, lawn was a contraction of lawman. Certainly a lawman could and did mow a lawn. Law and order could been seen as starting from lawn order, valued by so many Americans. More lawn could be made using a lawn mower. A lawn mower did make more lawn. more lawn was a contraction of more lawmen. Did more lawn in America make more lawmen in America? Did more lawn make more Nam? More mown lawn made more long moan, from her. Or a lawn mourn. So often, she said, Americans wanted more mown lawn. All of America might be one long mown lawn. A lawn not mown grows long, she said: better a long lawn. Better a long lawn and a mole. Let the lawman have the mown lawn, she said. Or the moron, the lawn moron.
Stichic
Stichic doesn't mean quite what she thought. Maybe it's because her mind transformed it to sty chic, which is when Wilbur wears a patterned scarf and rain boots. When models bid each other farewell, perhaps they say stay chic. Stay sty chic, the pigs would say. Sty chick would be a sow. Stay sty chic, chick. Stick chic is hippie style, closely associated with tree chic. True tree chic chicks love the earth and the life around them. Maybe the sty chic chicks should throw a party with the tree chic chicks. I'm sure it would be trè chic.
