one begins to look at one's poem. as if it were a coffin. reproduce tattoos. from the mind. its taboo skin.

din from a tyrant heretic. a lunatic who pricks. whee. nail that coffin lid down. will she float? and will she rescue. anyone?

as if it were nested. let each reader find his own coffin. within this coffin. an infinity of coffins. finis.

a coffin with a body inside. a body outside. a hanger-on getting a rhythm ride. human bon-bon. gone bone. sperm ride.

as if it were a sea hawk coffin. tomahawk. a church pew coffin. a derring-do. a doom. there she blows. a swoony bin.

a Qeequeg coffin. shake a leg coffin. let each reader find his own leg inside. his idol. his own numb skull.

a coffin with attics. antics. a grave. a knave coffin. let the ocean wave brine it. countersign it.

when one dabbles with Moby Dick. one becomes a loose screw coffin. a chanteuse. of seduce. let the poem go. whoosh.
