Less words

Extracting it seems was easier

When there were less words involved

It was the asphaltish odor that stopped them from talking

And so getting through and out of the day

Became a convenience instead of a burden 

Using coins that buried a wealth of stolen items

They found time. 

At railway bridges. 

At stops along the road where tables were greasy and covered with flies. 

At pauses in the music

That pelted, belted, besotted and trampled. 

This was good because of and in all this they uncovered secret chests and trysts that never would have been begotten
