This is how enjambment can work in a poem. Bridge 77 on the Macclesfield Canal allows a horse to cross the canal without having to untie it from the canal boat.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Of all the dirty tricks: juking USPS rules so that the postmark of mail-in ballots won't reflect the date they were put in the hands of the Postal Service, creating a pretext to throw out the votes.

Does it hurt to get shot with a gun? The HHS has issued new guidance that it actually hurts more not getting shot with a gun. Health watchdogs warn that promoting getting shot with a gun will make more people get hurt from bullets, though the actual science is disputed by some researchers

My immigrant parents didn't know how to do Thanksgiving. My sister and I would bring home tidbits from classmates ("We need to buy 'cranberry sauce!'") and bit by bit, we built Thanksgiving. Not cos-playing, but participating.
It's my favorite holiday.

It’s how you end up with language like “paperwork American” or the idea that Thanksgiving turkey is some sort of natural ethno-national tradition that certain other groups are incapable of ever appreciating

I don’t think unrealized gains should be taxed.
However, getting a loan against unrealized gains should count as a realization of those gains. Borrow $10 million against the $1 billion company you founded? Great job! That is $10 million you earned and should be taxed on
