.HAS THE FAULT A FUTURE; THE WORLD IS NOT IN OUR STARS * WHAT KIND, OURSELVES?' Sunday (muddy Sunday), comes and the black moon rises. When the bald buildings barb the black of 0, too the world never looks older. And younger it seems yet the stars, its parents, maternal, paternal; deceptive - left it to the sun. Stress and money, collagen, vitamin B,A,D.; time clock slipping tick{acky. Bitumen and baux- ite, butter and gold, were the things the orb once traded/paternal, maternal, deceptive - a card game - an eye faster than a hand and skin was peeled ("praying for money?") leave the orange out (or yellow) and record observations and rain softens all till the barbed buildings leak and guide, slide, shalter, dust to Radium; 1 atom, 2 atom, 3 atom, 4, 5 atom, 6 atom, 7 potato more? Yellow and gold all men are courageous; lions led to the water will drink deep and die or bloat. Float the boat; match made love with a ribbon round its leg. Why love a scarlet rice field, a field of wizened peril? Grippe the Flag, red, white and blue my hearties, coming in ten to the piano. Grout-the snout of sow in sorrow, bear the belly, ope the option - die or die, dye or dye? diadem them who raise the sceptre, lower it on (1792) 'Marry' the meat man who will leave you in the meat- closet and the bread board will say 'guilty and sentenced to five slices', fasten than a speeding, stronger than a century - able to lift tall stories in a single boundary; and the game is over; the game is up, the game is down - the player's lost her thorny crown. Garrot the martyr and mar mankind. Pious pyre and plait placetal (a plait is thrice strong, women wise) won't women see the world to bed - thrice strong . Goodnight * mankind!

Siamese A sleek cream body: Darts forward; BIack points blend With the night; Blue eyes, from the sky Pierce the gloom ln search of prey; Moves on silent pads Stealthily through fhe grass. Softly smoothly silkily it
