Dear ugly delegates
of this fine fine sauna,
I've tried to complete
each of our houses
with as many cabooses
as time allows,
as many whiskers
as cute little sneezes,
and because I might
love you, yes,
I've tried. Please vote
to keep it going
with whatever arrives
like Persian rugs expanding
through a mad mandala.
Of course, dear cousin,
Time is not lost.
You see, the sundial
props up the bull's-eye
in the basement
despite that we think more
in terms of cloudforests
dying as they still proliferate
on days like today.
If it's the last thing I do,
I will lead you
to the toilets.
These rooms sway on
substandard curves,
sexy old scrolls
we sometimes spit on,
and so on, and so on.
