Was flte in the halcyon, sideburned '70s!
What we Illeant and other questions were a breeze;
Taking a Illediulll 's word felt so adult.
Later we learned those cups and wands, The Wheel
Of Fortune, The World,Judglllent-all those trulllps–
Had nothing to say; and th;lt renowned Madallle
Sosostris, c1airvoyante, was daft
to
deal
Her wicked pack , a card gallle geared for chulllps,
Drawing those colorized blanks on the world to come.
Daphnis and Chloe
Looking at the grass for disease, thoroughly
Unready. There was the sac!";ll 1ll0lllent, the modern scare.
Natural enemies of the zebra Illussel or the like. Slices or
Slides of the engineered tOlllato. Playing the lottery here
Wi th l30vine Spongi fmlll Encephalopathy
Sailing along the sterIlocoastal surLlCe
Sighting the great cardiac vein ill blue the right
Coronary artery in red. This is a Illild
Congregation I would S;IY; now look out there
At the willow fi·ond dribbling gold into the sun-breeze.
You have been here before, haven ' t you, we see only
Moderately high snow drifts which nlclY
l3e genetic, but still the Illost cynical regillle
Is prescribed. Some regression of course Illay he
Possible but unlikely
So you Illay as well begill papering over
The walls that graphed the figure -ground relationship
In your life, or what you deellled it
to
be
While sOlllething else was happcning, or it
Was corruptly but Illinutely going by.
