  • Dashed field-circle. The suit is a department, not a picture.
  • Punch count 1 in the compiled field — the verb is iterated, not illustrated.
  • Footer punch-row and code JACK.WANDS.01.G0
  • no wave; heat, not water

PSYCHOLOGICAL MESSAGE

A programme is powered. Nothing has run. Heat without a job. They want to begin more than they want to finish. Hold the spark. Do not call the spark a career.

FACE-DOWN

The power is there and they will not press start. Or they start six programmes to avoid committing to one.
