Acrid verbal curlicues that accessorize
The most foundational of formulating forms
Taking arms against a sea of troubles
Now I know and what rough beast
Here there is no light save on the breezes blown
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain
And that damned votive lassitude

I’m not talking about a well-
Regulated militia or justification by faith
It’s the there not-there
In or on manifestly real monuments of intellect
Vestigial virus in DNA
It seems the ornament is the point
Discovered or created begotten not made
