be succinct
tho the sea is not
be succinct our ears are on the way to bed
the answer must not be a long one
nor long in coming
look at the dancing foot of a hasidic movement
investigate the calm instant of hashish and the wit of wilde
try scandalous cod pieces they’re brief enough
look at the wide empire endlessly unfolding bourgeois victims
selling fish and candy bars
and ask the poets for a verse
that does not end
but be succinct
tick
tock
