Aspect, Horatio

How many aspects 
of the ratio
will be folded

under the helmet
that never tests
the mettle of the mind?

As many folds 
as a brain in itself,
as much cold 

as a pain in the shoulder,
a should that would 
if it could be good 

enough to freeze
each sworn understanding
shorn contrabanding

cut down like a trunk
filled with white pills
obviously for sale.
