NOTES OF "STYMIES".
Your notes,
Are the only things I have,
The words are like melodies that float(s),
But the letters sometimes (mostly) misbehave,,,,
Showered and dressed I went to a café at the Wolcott's Camp and drank three cups of Italian Coffee topped with steamed milk and shaved chocolate,
I drew & quartered a pastry and got the paper(notes), read the paper cover to cover, like I completed the crossword square to square,
What a transcendent diversion the crossword can be,
A four-letter word for solo beginning and ending in A,
A four-letter word for sword beginning and ending in E,
A four-letter word for miscellany beginning and ending in O,
ARIA, EPEE, OLIO - no matter how
vestigial these words are in the body of common English, watching them UNFIT, into the puzzle's machinery,
One feels as the archaeologist must feel when assembling a skeleton - the end of the thighbone fitting so precisely into the socket of the hip bone that it simply has to confirm the existence of an orderly universe, if not a divine intention,
So, I,, with confused breath, and then the last squares,, I FILLED in the puzzle were ECLAT- a five-letter word for a brilliant success or ostentatious display,
Taking this as a favorable omen,
I left the café and went around the corner of my SOLITUDE MANSION,,and drank a cup of beated coffee,☕
My Coffee Ultimately solved the crossword puzzle of your notes...Thanks God.🙏
