• which was mostly able to limp 
  past the so-called wild-west phase but 
  never could embrace what one would

  with the ensi of this small state 
  have tried to add aspects of fig

  my sigh is heard on the moon and 
  reflects on the crowd of spectacular 
  spirits once upon a who I loved long

  so here take this half-quarry and build 
  without instruction or sleep or slap 
  
  up the usual hiding hut with clean 
  paper and fresh pins for lines post-collapse
