Who’s making all that racket, and not even letting

the islands that linger make a will.

A little more consideration

as it will be late, early,

and easier to assay

the guano, the simple fecapital ponk

a brackish gannet

toasts unintentionally,

in the insular heart, to each hyaloid

squall.

A little more consideration,

and liquid muck, six in the evening

OF THE MOST GRANDIOSE B-FLATS

And the peninsula raises up

from behind, muzziled, imperturbable

on the fatal balance line.
