that sentimental day we recite our
atrocities a la mode which at the
time rhymed though less in retrospect
which we hope may serve as a warning
to any newcomers peddling dewey

gospels though we had not calculated
all that this strange gravity would inquire
of our ancient components which
likely will take weeks to tweak but

if you’re around we can descend
the canyon and investigate the
rumors of this miraculous vegetable

they say it’s like drawing your hand
with the hand that’s like drawing your hand
