10/9/05 draft (more worthless crap)

Were your typos tracked, you’d write lovely, not lonely.
Emphasis on dove, not done. Rock doves, not well done.
Pichon Spanish eat. Rats with wings? Surrounding
Lorn Nelson on his pedestal, his family being Nielsons
Or Nilsens, certainly neither Nissen as in bread or Nissan.
But Nissans were Datsuns. Done and lovely column one,
dove and lovely in another. Between govern and gone,
but sieve and purse-seine? To leave is not to lean,
to love not lone, or lave or lane. Pave the street,
don’t replace the pane. Read one through another.
Oval, not onus, nor anal. Imply the birth canal,
Not colon. Cove, not cone. A shore removed
From central thoroughfares, not a funnel
The diameter of which increases the greater the distance
From a central point of departure or destination,
Not a water-body where most find respite.
But shore or shove, which will it be? Shorn or shone.
Push comes to shove, shove sandbags against the flood,
Levees unlenient. Lavings, not lanes, water shoves,
Sandbags or barriers shore up against what shoves,
Removes, resettles, restructures in arrangements unloved,
Alone. Sand-grain, gravel. Engrave, ingrain, or grate.
