100x450 - 27 - if ezra pound were a centipede

Chksh chksh chksh
Rustling over floors a hundred legs
and sd. the mother to the egg
"remember to clean your plate of mould"
"we never had so much when we were young"
dancing in shag carpet forests
like satyrs to the flutes of Pan
But avoid the boys who are so young
And eat string cheese with their fingers
They will dangle
all your pride
all your pride
over water
Lethe
Styx
and these rivers and these boys
will eat all your young
all your pride
Je suis un centipède et je suis beau
Give me mold
This is blasphemy.
