THIS M   

möbius

      verbal
           wisdom’s
              xograph
           yelloched
           zestily
         across
          brain
           candy
              doughnutting
                      eight
                      figures
                 governing
hullabaloo’s
                       infinite
                             jest
                      kickbacked

This simple

And now let us turn, at last, to simple speech.
Simply, we turn to speech, and it lets us.
To speak, simply turn and let us at last begin.
Let us begin to speak, turning simply now over and over.
Speech, over and over, simply turning us away now.
Now, simply, over and over, turns us away. To speak of this. At last.







Bio: Andy Weaver has published two books of poetry, were the bees (2005) and
