Am I really so twisted that I see
color that isn't and hungers unslaked,
and flavors unsavored, fresh misery
accorded to inkblots and whispers faked?:
There are at least two rules one must follow
in this world of gardens and of dungeons:
"Stay out of the right; the left will follow
its course into oneness, and time bludgeons:
The meanings of difference come blinding home
along the dark asphalt, covered with ice
or glass – the cuts are sealed in with seafoam,
which makes pain rain as its drowning the mice:
The recyclers of matériel, raw
or uncooked, must function under the law.
