One past the poster -- 
votado introverted cortado
inculcado like a ballyhoo --
thank you Octavio Paz,

for the name and the 
inspiration, as the words
curl every finger knuckle
back to a well enough read palm

where close contact and exams
clock unmeasurables seasoning
rhyme, rosemary, page
unrusted equilibria 

dusted to prove it
and proof is the pudding
we like to drink like drinks
to prove we are robusto 

ess pressers, steam debunked
powers that see 
under mercantile conditions
training a thinker to stink.
