Six or more appendages on a mammal
You’d have to be an idiot
To believe such an absurdity
But fortunately you don’t have to believe
That the shooting of an albatross
Caused the death of the crew save one
More things happen than are dreamed of in your causality
Because causality does not dream

Great Pegasus came to me again last night
I would have preferred the black avatar
But white is fine enough
And anyhow he didn’t ask me
Nor must heroic monsters pick a gender
The reference is mere solecism
And the logic even of a dream must make sense

A seraph has three pairs of wings
Not googol or the square root of two
Not three pairs of pmisti tonferaw
And yet even here a recognizable p
A recognizable m
A recognizable i
In the luxuriantly superfluous adjective
That accompanies the watching of the delectacious skywriting
While sipping glimigrim on the tiny veranda

O mimetiverse
O wondrous infinity
O steed that never pulled a plow
Nor deigned to wear a bridle
O Hippocrene hoof
Muscular hummingbird
That brings the dream world to life
I don’t need to fly
Beholding your perfect decorum in the sky
