Chunking to Imitate:
3a. Model: crossing the lawn that morning/Douglas Spalding/broke a spiderweb with a space/when a single invisible line on the air/touched his brow/and snapped without a sound.
3b. Imitation: Frying his body all day/Jacob Johnson/got a horrible sunburn by afternoon/ because the cheap suntan lotion from his brother/became a thin liquid/ and dripped into the sand.
4a. Model: every sort of animal/from bears to black beetles/came sporting or shambling or scurrying/along their way /and the high sky/that had been seeing that had been as Sandy and aired as the soil itself/now, blossomEd with birds.
4b. Imitation: All kinds of vegetables/ from celery to fresh tomatoes/ were laughing or dancing or playing/in the salad bowl/and the salad dressing/ that had been as quiet and unnoticed as the bowl itself/ suddenly giggled with glee.
