The Tribes
The round table of prepositions jumps out at Valetsky.
The triangular table of verbs kneels to Goldberg.
The hexagonal table of adjectives opts for Kaminsky.
The two-dimensional table of nouns carries on with Edelstein.
The septagonal table of pronouns lifts off with Rabinovitch.
The diagonal-cubic table of adverbs inclines towards Levine.
The chessboard table of conjunctions swings upward around Pincus.
The rubik’s cube of articles swoops down on Rubin.
