ink's expectation,
will you tell the General my brilliant supposes?
General Mills,
it's my step-smooth thought, see?
on the mountainside,
drawn small shock promised against look
persistent lady,
door-settled lesson full-accidentally misspelled
awake by daylight,
gentlemen recommend excitement in handwriting
George Washington,
you referred to yourself as having winning manners?
pennies,
relief dark against them
names again,
where do people find the energy?
dimly lit,
the points of interest regret cavalier treatment
sphinxes,
hobnobbing with the servants & getting them all upset
Lillith,
you certainly are a persistent lady
a horse,
differently colored though its shoes are still blue
hubbub,
despite the fact this contained only a handful of names
Abelard,
lays himself down under a pine tree
pine tree,
skillfully chosen specimens of William Wormswork
the doors
closed,
nor
will they l-ong p-e-rsist,
the doors
th-e doors / closed
the third time a year later—
they've long p-ersis-ted,
have / the doors
the doors closed
"I'm helping y-o-u all I ca-n,
the doors"
the doors
from the futur-e
will not help me, still I'm
help-ing you all I can,
the doors
I nod my head "yes"
no har-m seemed to come of it, to
the d-o-o-r-s
the character The Doors,
in whose galaxy limited m-ention is made
of / the doors,
is Fortunato
walled in pond—
th-en
h-e'd answer to the name
Mr. T-ime Super T-ime Engine T-ime
y-ou yourself answ-er
to Fortunato's ne-w name,
Mr. Super Engine Time
I s-aid "ne-v-ermind",
Mr. Super Engine Time
