Let then revolutions come aghast,
Lest we wash away the filth's of tomorrow,
For loath, for lust & dearth.
Pitcher and fork, may flowers
Frost those cutlets of sand-
But for the facade of humor and humility.
And as for those of spoils of yester & yore-
We bequeath thus,
To those that incubate in vain `
