ii. ee, san sen traves
I lose hold of my bag once more
I know she can’t sail my waggon ashore
I tread grapes under the damned wheels
Back and forth, I reel
iii. aux fers i psalmodise
The people lack volition, not indefatigability
I descry unwearying efforts to exhibit potency
Did someone pull my bag, the grapes in which you took three
Forlorn soul, forsaken one, how had I upset thee
There’s an obscurity in language which I cannot fathom
Centum and Old Chinese were the twain in a womb
and an intensity within the apiary that we écouter
workers crawl in, crawl out, busy fussing with their plumage
I hold her hand and we verge on the shore, barefoot
When weary we lie in the cove of ripe wine I loot
The path is a well trodden one
We seek out Bifröst; we come from chill Jötunheimr

down la River course to Terminum ultimum vitae
we’re Surging downflux; we’re all workers in dis hive
we can’t wield our bu– buzz– buzzing here hyphen
in no way can we break loose from dis Recirculation

and we protect freespeech quic to be inundated by Runic
legends and l’effusion from da Rise de la River from which
da Revered Reverser Rechannels us as Sisyphi to encore Redrift
when Sisypheanist Scientists asserted da Reverser
all were Sisyphied, and none was Staid at first
dat was da great Tumultu et Turbulence-Turmoil Tempus
hivanity Subsisted merely grâce à da Sedatesobers
and i’m merely a descendant de da Tumultuous
after Two Thousand years we’ve, with assiduitas
now come to da Second phase of Recirculation
dis is our Story, da Story of hivans, my children
