Oh see the thing! Glass mesosphere and ink: The soil contumely in the field of green From times when man among the sand could think A second longer, in the stone tureen. His hand to wrist to arm is a bone at a blink. Though pink birds innocent, they hope to glean With blinding Wednesday eyes, they love to drink. He, Woden-******, gathers what they've seen. We gray collected in a city's link Descend and nest on pavements, there to preen, And watch enchanted victims gaily sink By the cardboard box, attracted to the sheen. A street magician can the world reverse With subtlety and somewhere to rehearse.
