Peripheral happenings: Cat licks. Sunlight ventures. Sunflowers droop. Eyes blink. Toilet flushes. Fridge hums. Woman laughs. Child yells. Light flickers. Squirrels scramble. Leaves fall. Brakes squeak. Coats hang. Shoes pile. Books stack. Itches scratch. Clouds sink. Music blares. Pumpkins hollow. Floors creak. Fingers tap. Phone vibrates. Dust migrates. Tub fills. TV flickers. Brow furrows. Rug straightens. Closet brims. Moon ascends. Scarf wraps. Foot shuffles. Dick softens. Vents heat. Tree slouches. Raccoon sneaks. Pots simmer. Lungs heave.
