i) flecks of the improbable, seen
in the nonsense
light of expectation ii) tripping
solemn, light,
as if crusted day is slave to the
roving eye
iii) so many statuettes of hope,
so little time
iv) we shall agree to meet half
way and then let
time absolve us from ever having to
remember v) the
having of the needless eye needled
into extravagance
vi) spools of nervous laughter asking
more from less
vii, viii, ix) the cathedraled temple,
spectacled toyness,
dry embrace of the relicced other.
