The Day of We Propose Our Particular Life


And if we must submit to servitude let’s make it
Glorious we insolent crows know how it’s done
We know how to tug thoughts to the end of our
Feathery tethers hah! it tickles the brain but not
The mind to discover in dubious omens our true
Names to hear them in the torn remains of noise
We are radiant when we’re together we
Illuminate this palace we have built of syntax
To the stranger who arrives here uninvited we
Offer ravenous uninterruptible words whose
Wisdom reaches not a single solid thing whose
Wisdom reaches all ten thousand teeth of time
Hot damn! we always say we crows have such
Fine teeth O the better to devour this desire
