IN RES ROBIN, NIBOR RESALB INSCRIPSIT MENTASTRUM (XXC)

for Robin Blaser

Matter over mind or anyway

mattering, muttering, sponge

warp, cup, meld, then again

clutched, shred, shrift. Blister

origins (orangutans) in souped-

up monkey wrench. Prattling

till the itch in pines becomes

gash (sash) in the pluriverses

of weft & muck (wept). Pleat

as you may, fellow traversers

on the rippled road to hear &

however, ne’er so near.
