(Jay Whitten. 4-12-2003)

The mind-theme of olive seas hops like
mealy-mouthed inflectional paradigms
leveraged atop the starlight
Touched and
Interwoven with
ungrouped ills
nary a Negro
yawned hosanna
to the hidden
nonzero godhead
ten wassail sermons
sanely erased
exact dietary ennui
cattily speared ashore
dually painful, hate-hewn
shielded roseroot dame
a man sways deranged
the theme readapted,
edited, thawed.
Europe
dabbed his ire
with her sperm-tinged Morse toe
