When W.H. Auden traveled to Iceland, he stumbled across the word 'foss,' which means 'waterfall.'
However, this word is most commonly used in association with the word 'bicycle' since for some reason, when the natives first encountered the bicycle, they could think of nothing to compare it to sufficiently except for a waterfall.

9am
the fallen palm leaves in my backyard were full of hidden black widows
i dreamt about a blue and red spider, making me a fake superhero painlessly
trees line a few blocks of a long street that isn't mine, bowing away from apartment buildings, filling with limelight
