Strangers
Singular are strangers without known parallel.
Singular, peculiar
a unique clientele.
Strange are "perfect strangers" perfections don't exist.
Strange placement arrangers
are for those who insist.
Strangest fact of strangers are the extraneous.
Strangest type exchangers
are pusillanimous.
Estrangement from strangers causes suspicion to rule.
Estrangement for voyeurs
removes the pervert's tool.
Strangers are no stranger than others we know well.
Strangers pose no danger
that borrowed fear can tell.
