What Beads
What Beads
What Pleasure abuses
And Genius breeds,
All Mortal accuses
And crushes and lifts
Through Crucibles passing
That Melting awakes:
All Messy is massing –
And taking Remakes!..
Remaking revolving,
Producers of “-Re’s”
In Series joking-
Ly value their Mess,
To make Messy-anic
That takes to reshape
In-forming Pre-panic
Enthroned in Jade...
Forbidden Construction
Of staggering Bans
Mis-usable Junctions
For Junk of all dense
By measure of Final
To that Mortal leads –
Eternal but Minor
Path narrow of Beads!..
