Platteville, Colorado

Voices from the Grave ~ First Person Singular Subjective Case:  "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to take."  With a universally popular (though slightly modified) bedtime prayer, a month of "perpendicular pronouns" comes to an end. If you still haven't figured out the meaning of perpendicular pronouns, think about "I." When people walk the earth, they are perpendicular to the surface. However, when they lie beneath the sod, they're not so perpendicular anymore. From their graves, though, their voices can still be heard: thanks to their burial memorials. Mizpah Cemetery. [2013]
