a muteable feast
in the moveable east
hemingway herringbone
lathered with yeast
—
a forlorn cigar
at the mineral bar
bob-nosed and dewey-eyed
feathered with tar
—
a harlequin row
on the back of a crow
pocket-sized pantagruel
stealing the show
—
whimsies for sale
at the cost of a nail
with bookstalls and falderal
here ends the tale
