Language milligrammars identify the attentive reed
whose rustle accords to common practice.
One liter from fifteen tons and daily ingestion
engages the bacterial swarm as a mind.
Conscious referendum asks: shall another
word be scratched across the eye?
En glands, en lighter souls pretend to exist;
pen mountains scale rules to scrape law.
Meter gives cents to a hundred desk-squared
ill pups, willing studded rivet wheels.
Attention grands to kilo stand upon a lectern;
de-livered filters to drink a double dozen plus two broken letters.
