to hootchy-kootchy
with little illustrations
for hookah for hoopoe
for hoop skirt (def. 2)

to deceive or trick
to hide the give-away facial tic
beneath the hood of a cloak
to cross your fingers on a promise
you never meant to keep
in a pocket with the lint
the pennies the ringed keys
the origami list of
what you can’t forget
to do before you’ve closed
the book on it
