So… is it Square Metaphors in Round Holes …

Or Square Words in Round Metaphors?

Whatever, the line tips up at one end, and all the words fall off

Whatever, it’s streaming out words making meanings, like a jesus lizard running over a pond ...and what happens now the lizard has suddenly stopped?

Whatever, its fistfuls of mercury

Whatever, it will be Neither Consonant Now Vowel

[Norwich, last blast of Indian summer

sunny trips to Holkham

where Gwynneth lands at the end of shakespeare in love

for sarnies in the downs and blue sea and a flat land's sky less huge than the Prairies

to Southwold for pier and chips and fishing boats and egrets

and the bold autumnal light

and the cathedral, a wholly new one for the Canadian]
