How Nature always does contrive
That every boy and every gal,
That’s born into the world alive,
Is either a little Liberal,
Or else a little Conservative!”

of shadow:
swift pilgrimage
of pigeons, a spiral
celebration of air, of sky-deserts.”

One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it’s always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.”
