Just go to a grocery or 'jot 'em down store' nearby in the evening. Purchase some flour or pale corn meal-making it very clear now - "Not ever "All Purpose" - just "self-rising." As I lie there, all quiet and looking peaceful for all those attending-viewing. Standing in a single file line by the few or scores of the many - 'unattentive.' Toss "Self Rising" at me similar to broadcasting seeds on a rocky, broken field While stumbling on roots extended - downstream from stacked fodder.
