Huuklyeand Cinquor on Bernstein’s Artifice of Absorption

So powerful was his gift

Of garb, you had to

Hang on to your shocks.



Moderator’s comments: Now we know where Cinquor has been hiding out these past two months: Checking out the new world naked emperor’s new clothes!

Great Caesar’s Ghost—

Our mild-mannered  Vazambam speaks again!

Does This Ring a Bell?

We have no bats

In our belfry

Because we have

No bell tower—

So we have to make do

With what we have

To do without, even if it does

Sound crazy.

"Too Dead for a Dog"

—for Peter Goedhart

Though my friend did say 
Exactly that about that up-

Side down bloated

Carcass as we drove past,

I wonder if he really believed

Something could be too dead;

I mean dead is dead and there’s

No too about it, though 

Strangely enough, his phrase keeps 
Running through my mind where 
It continues to keep me wondering,

Its strangeness too, too alive.

The Great Equalizer

Everything’s perfectly balanced—

Going out, you will leave just

As much light behind you

As you brought coming in.
