Your reader quakes like a ready reactor Steady burn an incalculable factor On your mark, we approach the next chapter A quiet pen, without ambition Keeps each plan from happy fruition And pressure mounts, some new type of fission Carve yourself out a space in time Mark it well so it’s easy to find History don’t repeat, but rhymes: Solicitudes concede to style Somebody just filed suit for libel One more murmur to add to the pile To be a made man is to be man-made And so you dull your colors down a shade The arsonists took over the fire brigade Step outside of your burning home Pavement stand, dial your phone Ask whomever if We are Rome The receiver will no doubt laugh a little That is, if she caught the preceding riddle Somewhere Nero bows the fiddle Tell me something, if you please About the world pregnant virgins see Oblivious to a state emergency A noble fourth, our D’Artangan Has the sharpened instinct of a jealous man Oh, you know him? And you’re a fan? He’s wants a girl who drinks whisky and gin Musket holstered, what a sin Somebody asks, “What shape’s he in?” One assumes he’s kind of tame A lion, yes, but with a shampooed mane He don’t play ***** but he plays the game Shoes on, button up, wipe your glasses Time to shake up contented masses Donde hay educación, no hay distinción de clases

Letters, pt. 6: Note to Shelly
Your reader quakes like a ready reactor Steady burn an incalculable factor On your mark, we approach the next chapter A quiet pen, without ambition Keeps each plan from happy fruition And pressure mounts, some new type of fission Carve yourself out a space in time Mark it well so it’s easy to find History don’t repeat, but rhymes: Solicitudes concede to style Somebody just filed suit for libel One more murmur to add to the pile To be a made man is to be man-made And so you dull your colors down a shade The arsonists took over the fire brigade Step outside of your burning home Pavement stand, dial your phone Ask whomever if We are Rome The receiver will no doubt laugh a little That is, if she caught the preceding riddle Somewhere Nero bows the fiddle Tell me something, if you please About the world pregnant virgins see Oblivious to a state emergency A noble fourth, our D’Artangan Has the sharpened instinct of a jealous man Oh, you know him?
