“Where Does It Go?” by Reed Whittemore 🇺🇸 (11 Sep 1919 – 6 Apr 2012)
Guard:
​
Where does it go, go, that high rhetoric,
When it skims over the heads and soars to the balcony,
And flaps at the stained-glass windows, verily?
​
​
Trilobite:
​
No energy is lost. The vast abyss
Steams with the fallout breathed since Genesis.
