Challenge ooze to verse
and the one brow plows
furrows the depth of a
broken soul, sold to the
lies of the kidders, re-
sounding out the monumental
facial depressions in whose ears
new life speaks green. Peek
mean and meaning will become
as coarse as a callous, as bourse
as a money marketer, as horse
as a feast of burden. Lists develop
their threes and please do not
redevelop this hand, its writing
is the right kind of messy, the
confessy vs. turgeson, the swear
to be the fairer sea, the ocean of
porpoise without a why, so italicized
as to appear booted to the curb, not
wise enough to swim to Sicily, and
not smart enough to have been born
in the place where life is easier than
rifted, where the cliffs
are viewfinders
rather than options.
