Round-the-Clock Shifts

If you will stand up on a chair on one foot,
and look over your shoulder in the mirror,
I believe this will come clear enough:
Although man scrutinizes history
he does not see scrutinization as history.

There is no freedom in sequential explanations.

Boy, talk about your cyclical and superbly superfluous efforts,
over in this certain bubbling solar system, they’re having to run
around-the-clock shifts just to hold the shifts together.

There is no refuge
for the painting outside the frame.

Revolutionist By-Law Number Unnumbered:
Never quote a man
unless you’re prepared
to kill him.
