Erasmos landed in Tarsus today.
Grunny Grant, his sidekick, moored the longship.
Erewhig, the Minister, asked John to play
Jesus, the lead, in the pageant. Key grip
Sesama, the wife of Caan, was singing
While Little Lord Mayor O’Malley put
Melville in a box (upstanding, wearing
A Hat and drinking Starbucks in a Nut).
Bald, intense Operator Tolly Ward
Joined Ismael in a whale hunt (intense),
Ignorant of the secret, hidden chord.
Night comes on, very long, and with silence.
Escaped architect Evan Grieg remains
Marked by the ashes of old Jesus chains.
Archers are muscular, to the extent
That balm measures efficiency and blue
Is gloomy in the summertime, or Lent.
Cream is balm to the dark—blue, minus hue.
Moses, go down with Ed, fish for ointment,
Or paste. What Wordsworth said about Springtime—
Goats and lambs (more or less), born heavensent,
Bounding to the tabor’s sound,* Nature’s rhyme.
Low on Zodiacal tree, the symbols
Run slack over Rams and Jacks, who bear yokes,
While the high rabbit rips as he rumbles.
Rub dragon’s egg, shred thimble, tell no jokes.
This is the Second Coming, Noon Darkness.
Blue without hue, we hear cries of madness.
*Wordsworth, Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of early Childhood
The Work-end Progress
Well you know (or don’t you, Ken?), I told you
Every telling’s the tale and that’s the he
And the she of it. From the book that grew
Our of Work in Progress. You have the key—
Given, along the way, as loved at last
Along the riverrun, past George Martin,
From nerve of ghost to end of May; the cast
Of Mary Martin’s play got their start in
Howard’s End (or was it Howard’s Inn?). Tim
Finnegan lived and walked the streets with a
Beautiful brogue and a wife named Anna
Livia Plurabella. We see him
As “Everybody,” Alp as “All Women”
And Shemus as the joker who loves them.
Captain Hook knew that the bear was running—
Even as the sun rose, busting through clouds.
And then Bear blew Peter to Cameroon.
Wendy Darling found a Cockatiel
Named Jason (they made lemonade out loud).
Our best pastries are made with lemon-peel,
While the worst are our fluffy macaroons.
What made us stand for Miss Rachel Gunning?
It was the silver sparrow of Stuttgart,
Miracle bird, smaller than a swallow,
A holy ghost of Musical Fine Art.
Hearing whistles in coal mines, we wallow
In mysterious misery…. Thunder,
In words read, turkey in stomach: Wonder.
Mercenary Ecumenicals and
Numinary Wardens have inspired lost
Emperors to engage distinct yet bland
Professors, regardless of moral cost.
With Righteous indignation, Teddy’s Ex
Widens the Religious invitations
To exclude Women, Rectors, and Insects.
Meanwhile, Teddy faces extradition.
Making Energy a naked whim, Hans
Imagines Lilith’s Eden. Teddy earns
A dramatic dream, yet, and does it sans
Effort, entering facile love that burns.
Prefer to scan the digital remains?
Get up and look, while Professors explain.
Following the advice of the early
Somnambulists, I scooted to the store
To buy groceries and venom, while Hurley
And Governor Lynch regarded the door.
Samples of aerodisiacs swam through
The Air, like Temple Ionics in Spring,
Or the Boss Porous Estate, made anew,
During the Pride of Rebellion, in Ming.
Adroitly, I pillowcased the Pony
I had borrowed that morning from Oskar.
He owed me for the time he was stony
(And I drove him to Winslet in Bob’s car).
When Bread Heyliger became Manager,
Tosca laymen withheld the dowager.
FBI leaders are exemplary
Department skills are functional for men
Of Mice and Fear in the contemporary
Justice, which is vindictive, very mean.
Michael was a good friend, sure he was forced;
Feinberg is his name and he was pushed to
Resignation as a function of worst
Letters sent to Abraham from Jesu.
Made a mountain of a more hail fancy
By a stupid President, his Project.
Bongino bastard, beyond buoyancy—
Eroded and corroded intellect.
Awarding the most corrupt with Prizes:
Personality tests and surprises.
Kloster of the Dunedain was raised in
Yeomansland, near Carthage, during the
Lefanunian Resistance War. Thin
Izolde waited at home—Penelopia.
Angoisse turtles (from the Maine Land) captured
Tytonyhands of Drischool, and murdered
Vlossyhair of Parkland. In the Rapture,
Presepeprosapia (a Word Nerd)
Was abducted from Finntown, taken to
Summerhill by lazy men in shirt sleeves.
Tomley Entecoperra fought the Crew,
Along with P. Shuter and Justice Jeeves.
If this be error, and a pawn be moved,
Einstein’s clever theory was never proved.
Two cannibals eat a clown for breakfast
Holidays come down to Family and Falls
Childhood was lonely, but didn’t last
When you’re a child, Time has no roof, no walls.
Correct me to the grammar of Control
Some splits are gruesome in the simplest terms
My father is an academic mole:
Where’s the Source Map? He asks the oldest worms.
Good story to tell Ibrahim O’Neill:
I see dramatists everywhere in Town!
The grammar of the scene seems so unreal
Clowns of god, in costume, work for the Crown.
Cold, busted train-wheels sound like tuning forks;
And a Solitude of Source gums the works.
All the contents are here contained
True Trash and Uncles, stained
Hairballs and a bog man of lead–
The Age of Weight is dead
Wilderness tips, into Loch Ness:
Landscapes of Death, Darkness;
Travelling with Barometer–
Exiting with Peter
Where tacos lament their boredom
And Roland spreads his mess,
Atrophy crumbles the Kingdom
Of short-lived Happiness.
