here and there

“They rumble through time. We’re just putting a little bit of paint on some here and there, and maybe a little bit of echo and little bit of that sort of trippy stuff.”

Each one is hand-plucked, which means you may spot a few black quills here and there; the company insists they’re harmless, and they disappear once cooked.

It’s like this with all of my friends at this age too, dementia here and there, stroked out over there, and even for my younger siblings, who are 49 because my parents had them late.

The wallpaper was a leaf pattern in a pale green, and the ceiling had been painted a bright sky blue, with loopy clouds in shades of white floating here and there.

Meanwhile, the boys wrapped blankets ’round themselves as dresses and tiptoed here and there, speaking in high voices and pretending to be Swanburne girls.
