75.1

Instead of breaking the pentameter
Why not bend its feet and coax them
Into ambulacral grooves?
Before I falter
into five again behold my digits
straining for correlatives:
needle orb, castrated asterisk,
survivor. There’s no right way to rive
these thoughts, these urchins.

75.2

Instead of breaking the pentameter
why not bend its uptight feet and coax the bastards into
ambulacral grooves? If Pound was right and I can tally
the ups and downs (or downs and ups) of syllables without
relying on one hand, before I falter into five
again, behold my digits straining for correlatives:
needle orb, castrated asterisk, and bristling eyeball:
mock it with metaphors if you like: it has survived. There’s no
proper way to rive these thinging thoughts, these pixel urchins.

75.3

Instead of breaking the pentameter
why not bend its uptight feet and coax the bastards into
ambulacral grooves? Pound right, tally
the upbeats and downbeats
one-handed. Before I falter
again, behold this correlative:
needle orb, asterisk, and eyeball:
mock it if you like: it has survived. There’s no
proper way to rive these thoughts.

75.4

Instead of breaking the pentameter
why not bend its uptight feet and coax the bastards into
ambulacral grooves? Pound right, tally
upbeats and downbeats
three-fingered. Before I falter
again, regard this correlative:
needle orb, asterisk, or eyeball:
mock it, if you like: it has survived. There’s no
right way to rive these thoughts.

75.5

Instead of breaking the pentameter
why not bend its uptight feet and coax the bastards into
ambulacral grooves? Pound right, tally
upbeats and downbeats
3-fingered. Before I falter
again, a correlative:
needle orb, asterisk, & eyeball:
mock it, if you like: it survives. There’s no
right way to rive thoughts.

75.6

Instead of breaking the pentameter
why not bend its uptight feet and coax the bastards into
ambulacral grooves? Pound right, tally
upbeats and downbeats
3-fingered. Before I falter
again, and the line grows thick:

Instead of breaking the pentameter
