Analysis of 4.8
andrew walshe 1986 (Toronto)
True Confidence
Abundance in perpetuity’s seas
no time or space for shy bits see
Were way to smart
Young souls
The spry kids
Real recognized
Plaques placed below life’s effigies
Hard hacks soft balls
Grand slams for free
Ink blotter swatters
Bloodshot rorschach tests
Were the answers
100% and well
that's just for starters
Goes without saying
Well die for life
Magnificence martyred
