Bah meister barmbrackt

tich sticks his end in

thoo pontificates frum on hi

calls yersen seeker o trooth

better don wings

u haz far to go

wid yer airy haspirayshuns

wharz dis elevated plan u sites

belike pole-sitter

beggin scraps o numinus mannah

let fall frum upper firmament

absolomon verity

yer wurds git longer less eligibull

fer unnerstanding more youse prates

till u flies off hintoxicated

dasnt u stan huprite on urthz gravitas

bag o intestinal niftytude

trooth darn here must enjoy qualifier

or it stanz alone

similar to maiden aunt last o tribe

gotta hab relations

watch tich see me barry

makes no sense stannin forlorn

here goes

i pick up handles o ditto

an push den off i trots

now tis has meanin

tip o me cap yer honner

thanx fer pleasant natter

big i am per pro tich* wid haid ache

*Tich Backhouse hiz sayso

Apropos sue's crab: sadly expired anon

The more i'm aware

    the less i'm sure

that what's extempore

     can by apriori

conniving endure

     in form bewildering

beyond my powers

     interpretive and rare

neither through insight

     nor imagining how

metaphor can pull us

     through this nameless      to wit:

we ineluctably expire

     and interpenetrate

another sphere

     like potential drawn

from what's not there

    and certainly conserve our ego

by repair through unfathomed elements

     from here to

oh where      o where

"all beasts are happy, for when they die,

their soules are soone dissov'd in elements"

Just a tick

life's a surd*
    irrational
full of pi
    and we
hurried before dish
    snatched
as if out of mid-air
    smacking lips
vainly
     ill-at-ease
proof's in size of it
    says i
certainly absurd
    real experience
arrives from
    eyes nose ears
tongue touch
    worldly sensations
if we attend
    so don't believe
any cerebral by-blow
    of specious origin
if we give it a thought
    tis unutterably bedight
and incontinent

when you can feel onset
    pervasive bellyful of blah
oh my    oh my
    deny lip-service
simply believe
    ideal entity    bah
stems from rational root
