Can we finally have an editing session in here?

1.  Journal-  What?

Fake Spots

Like air
in rocks, fake
spots got here
really far back.
Everything is
part caulk.
Some apartments
in apartment blocks
are blanks;
some steeples
are shims.  Also
in people: parts
are wedges, and
to the parts they keep
apart, precious.


Explain please.
