The fourteenth segment for Wallace

The contortionist maneuver of disparity in totality

The city that dwells in me faces no paperwork

Text in the three poems from a levitating encephalon (clarification
of penmanship)

  1. The fourteenth segment for Wallace

    The blackbird witnesses in the snow,
    The frigid digits
    And Lamarckian strides.
    Its right eye
    Perched upon the involute song of the snowflake.
    And its left eye
    Meandering the grotesque motif of endeavor
    The blackbird watches.
  2. The contortionist maneuver of disparity in totality

    For the spume
    is the snow,
    mine eye the sky.
    Where one sees verity
    could there be
    disparity?
  3. The city that dwells in me faces no paperwork

    The
    city
    treads
    upon
    my
    meninges
    The
    temple
    is my
    cranium
    Its
    people
    are my
    brethren
    Odra permeates
    my viens
    The city that dwells in me
    faces no paperwork.
