Three smaller studies:

1.

If not for the algorithm, I’d		             have no sense
of where to look.	

The rocky mountains		       , formed
some sixty to one hundred and sixty	               million years ago, 

before	          upheavals as their elevations

ceased. Since then        , a steady        slow erosion.


2.

The dead leaf butterfly (Kallima inachus) 
is a master of beauty 

and disguise	       	             suspended

in grammatical possibility.


3.

As apprehension		             slipped 
and fell. Someone on Twitter 

suggests 		           : remove

whatever bronze historical figures
you need but                              leave 

the horse.
