Not Be Essence That Cannot Be



     HERA HERA HERA


           You Ye; The bee's jail, Puck workhouse 
     YOU YE zealous spongy devoting to 
                 Fucking logic, bath-ing in the
                            Stream, giggling.  Laying pros
                                  Titutes lowly, Mary Eddy
                        Lengthwise, Mahatma the beholder,
     Relieving trickiness above one leap year
     Eating cucumber.  Opposed to the crotch crotch
                               Hucking honeybee
                               Boiling the ruuts
                  The hognut lower down mewing 
                      Screwing, The giant ragweed, 
     And feeling the loneliness
                                Staining
           Yellow green.
                          Crookneck with bark whorish 
                                            Europe bones divide 
               Mad shame and kissing
                      Sweetmeats.  My lord very good
                           In the mind
                               You Ye whose
                                   Crack open
     After after after sap drain, stealth, Hera Hera
                                   Hera
