shelf-life decorative fail-safe
crawling from
staged serendipity (catalogue)
word sez
words apologize
for naught,
given birth, shelter, life-
source green woods (monkeys?)
like squirrels, cats
walk long shady lane

salmon spawning jokes,

kings in arrears) turmoil

& car ride's
found road (lost) honking
impervious sound dud. Lots of
fountains, dude, perfect
movie set. "Down
to the original air-blue
gown" quoting Hardy's
memento mori. Golden the moment
straws fill the hay, 1/2 pound
quarter hamburger, country
shack locale. Stars, my
turning moves me & we walked,
regal as dwarves, amongst
abandoned glass walls.
[Oh, heads of state
on carved chairs,
Socrates, Virgil, Dante &
Chaucer skull-capp'd
